The Best and the Rest.......2007-07-23

This collection has all of the Cranberries hits that the casual fan knows. For a causal fan though it also has a bunch of tracks that you've never heard and could have gone without hearing. But what the hell, I got the songs I wanted, may as well fill the cd up anyway.

Great Deal! Fast shipping!.......2007-06-02

This was a supper deal and the shipping was extreamly quick~!

The Cranberries Singles 1992-2002.......2007-04-17

I will admit the title "Best" is deceptive, but the record company did many of us a favor who own the Cranberries albums. This compilation offers the single versions and created new edits, which is clearly stated in the booklet. Imagine trying to buy all eighteen songs (pictured in the booklet) individually? The last two songs on this CD, making the total twenty were previously unreleased. The Pop-Rockin' "Stars" is no token throw-away. It one of their better songs in the last phase of the Cranberries. I like the single versions better on this CD and album versions better on the individual albums if that makes sense. A true "Best" is owning "Everybody Else Is Doing It So Why Can't We? - Complete", "No Need To Argue - Complete" and this compilation. The other indivdual songs is personal choice. The band also had the fans vote for their favourite non-single - "Daffodil Lament". So what is offered here is sampler of their five albums. For a beginner, it's good enough. For a big fan, it closes the book unless the band gets back together. In the 1990's the Dave Matthews Band and the Cranberries were Modern Rock's best.

Great CD.......2007-01-10

It's the Cranberries. If you like them, you love them, and if you don't, you don't.
It's a great CD, but how could it not be?

All time great music by the best band in the world!.......2003-01-20

The Cranberries stars (The best of 1992-2002)

Throughout much of the 90s, Ireland's 'The Cranberries' represented an innovative new wave of British rock. While the early days indicated the birth of a new supergroup, the later part of the decade saw a fast decline in its popularity.

With that, the decade captured them as Stars, The Best of 1992 - 2002, summarises a great career of a band who did "get there" but didn't stay for long.

The two albums that will always be "the classic" Cranberries records get a good representation here. 'Dreams' and 'Linger' from 'Everybody Else Is Doing It' and of course 'Zombie' from 'No Need To Argue' are already deemed classic hits for the radio. The third album 'To The Faithful Departed' sprouted 'Salvation' but the interest level in the band was already starting to wane.

Next came 'Bury The Hatchet' and 'Wake Up And Smell The Coffee', and while songs like 'Analyse' and 'Animal Instinct' still maintained the uniqueness that made up the sound of The Cranberries, the band was caught up in a sound from an era that was no longer relevant to the music charts. The audience had moved on.

The core fan base must likewise be interested more in the past than the present. When the band invited their fans to vote for their favourite non-single track for inclusion on this record, it is not surprising that the choice came from their biggest album 'No Need To Argue'. 'Daffodil Lament' is here for that reason.

The Cranberries record two new songs, 'New New York' and 'Stars', for this record which brings conclusion to the project but the real gems are not surprisingly the early ones.

Songs like 'Ode to my family' and 'Salvation' as well as 'Linger' and 'Dreams' are everlasting tunes that leave a great sound and a wonderful craving for more. The new single which is also the title track of the album is 'Stars'.

Their sound is idyllic and pleasing to ears; the kind of rock you can comfortably listen to with your family. Not many bands in the last 10 years can claim to have as many hits as this Irish quartet.

'Analyse' and 'Just my imagination' are two great-sounding yet relatively new hits. 'Off the Wake up' and 'Smell the Coffee album' sing-along tunes, you can enjoy with your friends on a ride.

But one track that really sticks to your mind is the 'Lovable Animal Instinct' with moralistic lyrics; an interesting storyline and an excellent music score. This compliation is by far The Cranberries greatest work so far. Stars ( The Best of 1992-2002) is a collector's item for sure and one that will be taken off and replayed on your CD player for a long time to come.

The best of the Cranberries.......2002-11-21

I can say that I personally like everything the Craanberries have done. So, when you take the best of that you end up with one great CD. This has all of the songs on it that most of you've heard on the radio like Dreams, Linger, and Zombie to name a few. It also has two new songs "New New York" and "Stars" which are great and an extra live CD (the reason I bought the import) which has 5 live tracks.

All the best tunes on one CD.......2002-10-24

An excellent compilation of all the best songs they've done. Much easier to just put this in the player instead of switching between all of their CD's and skipping the "dud" songs.
