I wasn't sure what to expect with this CD after reading a number of reviews that varied from great to poor. But once I placed this in my player I was taken back by the shear brilliance of the 13 musical compositions that make up this CD.The songs on this CD sizzle and rock. Try listening to Loud and Clear, Just my Imagination, Desparte Andy, Delilah and of course Animal Instinct and see if you can keep your feet still. The music is fluid, flowing from one song to the next and truly is a work of art.While I agree this CD differs greatly from the prior ones, I consider this to be a cut well above the others and well worth buying. I just hope their next CD follow the same musical path.By the way, Doloris sounds as hot as ever. Go Cranberries!!!
