Here's a video package that is, well, fruitful. And regardless of one's opinion of the Cranberries, no buyer will be shortchanged--not with well over an hour of music from their first decade together (17 music videos, plus... more » four "alternate takes"), loads of live material (including a 34-minute, nine-song concert), a 26-minute documentary, and even an interactive DVD-ROM. It helps that the group's music--sometimes melodic and harmony-laden ("Dreams," "Ode to My Family"), sometimes powerful and driving ("Zombie"), sometimes both ("This Is the Day")--is also good, and that singer and principal songwriter Dolores O'Riordan is an appealing presence. The music videos, guided by a variety of directors, are all worthy, sometimes considerably more than that; and if the group's 2000 concert in their native Ireland reveals them to be a somewhat less compelling live presence, well, there's still enough juice in these Cranberries to slake almost anyone's thirst. --Sam Graham« less

"What a wondeful DVD! This is maybe one of the best compilations I've ever seen on a video collection. The first song I watched was WHEN YOU'RE GONE..., one of the most beautiful ballads of a rock group (and music in general)... I like also the latest releases like JUST MY IMAGINATION (a very nice song, complemented with a fresh video) and PROMISES (a powerful song, one of my favourites Dolores' performances!).
Talking about this band is... making us feel proud of being part of that 90's generation, which brought us songs like ZOMBIE, WHEN YOU'RE GONE, DREAMS and LINGERIE, so: Do we need more than The Cranberries to have good music?
In conclusion: This is that kinda DVDs that MUST be part of your collection."
Excellent Compilation of This Superb Band

"Excellent collection of the Cranberries work to the date. The DVD includes 17 videos, 4 alternative take videos, 45 minutes of live material including the entire Live at Vicar Street show, as well as a 26 minute documentary on the band. The DVD also includes the ability to set your own personalized playlist to play the videos and live songs in any order. The sound and video quality are excellent and the overall packaging is very well done. I would recommend this for any Cranberries fans or as an introduction to anyone wanting to hear an excellent band."
Amazing. I love it

"The Cranberries music has always been a personal favorite. The easiest way I can describe the dvd is like this: If you are lonely or sad, put on this collection of music videos(and maybe a glass of fine wine)and relax. It will actually lift your spirit, make you want to go out and live life. And for the broken hearts out there, it might even give you the courage to seek out a new relationship. Seriously it's that good. Excellent."
Beyond expectation

"Absolutely must have for Cranberries fans. The music videos provide the listener and viewer with connection to the lyrics and the energy of the group. Ten plus years have matured this group and you are left with feeling the best is yet to come."
Outstanding!!!

"It is an excellent DVD. Those who haven't bought it are missing a great opportunity. In this dvd are included two versions of Ridiculous thoughts, when you're gone, dreams and analyse. Appart from that, you will have the chance to watch them in a live concert where Dolorea O'Riordan performs pregnant. If you are a fan, you will be delighted with such wonderful music and will also feel the sadness and pain when watching 'when you're gone' You will probably cry. it really awakens your emotions... Thank you dear Cranberries for such a beautiful DVD."
