5.0 out of 5 stars
5 stars is for the music alone, September 11, 2003
This review is from: Everybody Else is Doing It So Why Can't We? (The Complete Sessions 1991-1993) (Audio CD)
For those of you that don't already own a copy of "Everybody Else is Doing it so Why Can't We?", buy this album. It's an excellent piece of music from one of the '90s top bands. For those that already own the original release, save your money. The disc was released in 1992, not on ..... old analog equipment, so you won't be able to tell a difference in the sound quality. The bonus tracks are nice, but not enough to make shelling out the extra money worth it. Hope this helps.

Everybody Else is Remastering so Why Can't They?, June 11, 2003
This review is from: Everybody Else is Doing It So Why Can't We? (The Complete Sessions 1991-1993) (Audio CD)
Well...I have to agree completely with the previous reviewer; with so many pre-1990's artists re-releasing albums originally recorded in analog (ie. Pet Shop Boys, Tears for Fears, Cocteau Twins), and doing it well (digital sound quality, expanded liner notes, extra tracks & remixes), The Cranberries unfortunately rank at the bottom of the "must-have remasters" list. Shame, because "EEIDISWCW?", and "No Need to Argue" are two of the most important albums of that decade, but with no noticable improvement in sound quality, the purist's sole reason for purchasing these revamped versions has been removed. The new packaging and two or three extra tracks on each release are a nice bonus, but do not warrant purchasing all of these albums again, if you already own them (and everyone certainly should). In short, buy "Everyone Else...?" only if you do not have it, as it IS one of the most important records of the 1990's, but if improved sound quality is what you are looking for, steer clear of these releases. Five stars for album, one star for "remaster"

Close to my heart, April 4, 2006
This review is from: Everybody Else is Doing It So Why Can't We? (The Complete Sessions 1991-1993) (Audio CD)
From start to finish, one of the most emotionally honest albums ever made, and one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time. It's 1993 and I'm 18 every time I listen to this CD. Love it.
