It's just about all you ever go on and on and on and on and on and on about and it makes you sound as boring and as one dimensional as fuck.

I was thinking about that on the bog but couldn't be bothered to research it. Thanks.

Did Puff Daddy sample the Cranberries?

Music to my Tame Impalas?
OK I've listen to a few songs from the Peel session and from the first album. I sort of get it now. There's a world of difference in terms of production values between the two. Peel sessions are rough as fuck and the album is very polished. There's something quite intimate and direct in Dolores' delivery and as a singer she's all over the place. It's a weird thing, this very commercial sound combined with a very marmite singer (good grief that fade out on Dreams - what the hell is going on there!). That very commercial 90's sound is very off putting to me, but there's something in it that seems very personal and in fact amateurish like the producer is milking something that wants to be more direct and less radio friendly.
Dolores was a really poor singer from any technical point of view. It's like listening to somebody on Tiktok giving it a go and that's not necessarily a problem, it's about making a connection not hitting the notes (or the beats for that matter). The thing that's irritating me, is that she's not right up front in the mix because there's not much going on with the band. I want it more stripped down and more Dolores front and centre. She's pretty dreadful, but at the same time she's the only thing to love about it. The production takes the edge off it, but let it be what it is.

i think you need to hit return again, if you're doing it on a phone. Tis weird and annoying, but seems to work.
SK were supporting when Nevermind made it big. Nirvana (whether they themselves or their booking agents) often had female fronted bands as support to counteract any macho bullshit from fans. L7 were a frequent support, iirr. Both of them shit on the Cranberries, obvs.
Tad are clearly the best band in the world though, cos Nirvana supported them at more gigs than anyone else.

back on the other side
just had a cranny peel session on and really liked it 
that astoria clip was painful though

I already know that Stephen is a great producer, mainly because he has also been a musician and knows the nuances that he must polish. But trying to make me believe that the merit of EEIDISWCW being a 9.5 / 10 record solely and exclusively to Street is nonsense.
I have already read sometime, along with the fact of not hiding or mitigating breathing. However, that's what fans like about Dolores's voice. The naturalness and imperfectly beautiful her velvety voice was. That's why Miss Wheeler failed, because she tried to make her voice sound perfect, and that's a very serious mistake.
The Peel Session shows what it is; a band of 4 18 and 20 year old children who have only been playing for 7 months, and who must be managed by someone who understands in order to unleash the enormous potential they had.
And that was what happened
There are songs in that Session that really make me want to laugh because of how badly Dolores did.just had a cranny peel session on and really liked it

Although the boys were quite well
I appreciate English isn't your first language but this is a bit hard unpick, it doesn't help that I don't know who Stephen and Street are.
Absolutely. But at the same time it's to be expected that a lot of people will really dislike her singing. It has the merit of not being for everyone. And that's why the whole great band/not a great band thing doesn't work.

I think that was their potential realised. It's organic, they're playing off each other and crucially Dolores doesn't sound out of place. They're playing like they mean it.

Stephen Street - he's the producer, did The Smiths before this lot.
And i think dear carn is completely (deliberately?) misinterpreting your post to say you prefer your turds well polished.
1. Stephen Street is/was the producer of The Smiths, and also Morrissey solo career, The Cranberries and Blur. Among many other artists
2. For me and for many people it does work, 30 years after its time. And as you can see, it also worked from a business point of view. It is strange that you admit that this band is not for everyone, and yet on this forum I have had enough of reading that they were commercial pop. Both affirmations are antithesis.

they really arent.
And most importantly, without being a band for everyone, they have sold 50 million records
