In Your Head: Cranberries Expand 'No Need To Argue' With B-Sides and Outtakes

July 30, 2020 By The Second Disc 2 Comments

No Need To Argue

BUY NOW ON AMAZON.COM

No Need To Argue, the album that gave Irish rockers The Cranberries their biggest hit around the world, is getting expanded  this fall.

As a tribute to frontwoman Dolores O'Riordan, who passed away unexpectedly in 2018, the surviving members of The Cranberries have remained active despite the band's formal dissolution, expanding their debut Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? later that year and wrapping up final album In The End in 2019. No Need To Argue continues that reissue series, offering the remastered original album along with B-sides and a disc of demo and live material. Of particular interest to longtime fans are two tracks that have never been officially released in any capacity: "Yesterday's Gone," as performed on the group's appearance on MTV Unplugged, and the demo "Serious."

While the album sleeve to No Need To Argue featured the band on the same sofa they posed on for the cover of their debut, its placement around different locations in and around Ireland could be a bit of a metaphor for how their sound changed on this record. In place of the light acoustic yearning of breakthrough single "Linger," No Need To Argue featured tracks like the wearier "Ode To My Family" and the edgy, cathartic "Zombie," written in response to two boys killed in an IRA bombing in England. Despite the heavy subject matter - or perhaps part of it - "Zombie" would become one of the group's signature songs, topping the German, French and Australian charts as well as Billboard's modern rock survey in America. (A lack of physical single in the U.S. prevented its crossover to the pop charts.) The track helped the album become one of the bestselling of the year it was released, moving some 17 million copies across the globe.

The expanded album also features unseen photos from the album cover sessions and a 5000-word essay by band archivist Eoin Devereux. Those liner notes will appear in both the expanded 2CD and double vinyl sets (which feature the remastered album and bonus tracks on the first disc of the package). uDiscover Music is offering a limited clear pressing of that 2LP set, as well.

No Need To Argue is available once again on September 18. Pre-order it below and check out the full track list.

    Really looking forward to this one. I have the existing expanded edition, but the second disc of demos and live tracks make this a must buy for me.
