Product description CRANBERRIES THE STARS - THE BEST OF VIDEOS 1992/2002 .com 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 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

It is truely titled well
Dolores O'Riordan and her supporting bandmates have created a very well put and very artistic set of videos. These videos hold more treasure than that of many other artists. While Other artists have to rely on sex, drugs, guns and glamorous life portrayed in their videos in order to gain public interest for their sales, The Cranberries, led by Dolores O'Riordan's mystical immortal-like hand uses other more artistic ways, such as colorful schemes, moving stories, and her mesmerizing natural beauty (even with short hair. Just look at her face) gaining her an ever growing fanbase. The Cranberries have fallen off (or so it seems) on the entertainment stage of the U.S.A., but not worldwide. She, being a true artist refuses to bow down to the demanding ways of U.S. marketed record companies who are known for forcing their artists to dance choreography, dress a certain way, speak a certain way and to uphold a certain image for the public eye in manners that their brainwashing advertising campaigns were designed to promote. All for the greed of putting more U.S. dollars into the pockets of already wealthy men. Dolores, a true, tested and proven vet of the music scene has more than money on her mind... she's all about her music, the art of love and the promotion of peace. Well, aware of a highly obsessed fan base, her passion is fueled to continue producing a never ending supply of masterpieces, whether it be song, video, concert performances, or photo shoots. As you will learn from this dvd, Dolores is always expounding on new ways to "keep it interesting" , for one, changing her looks at such a constant rate that her fans can never get use to one style before she dives into another. Best believe Dolores is a pathmaker and not a pathtaker. A great set of videos and extras that can be enjoyed over and over again. Very addicting, so beware. T'anks!

BEST Cranberries yet!
I loved "Beneath The Skin". This DVD is even better! Excellent sound quality, gorgeous packaging (even a little pic of Dolores holding a baby, her son?) featuring many personal photos of the band, all the videos PLUS the un-released versions of videos, great menus, super extras. Like the live show at Vicar St. Dolores looks about 5 months pregnant there, doesn't jump around much, but of course her voice is excellent. She does a gorgeous version of "Animal Instinct", not a favorite of mine, but this is the best version I've ever heard. This is the entire Vicar St. show, it's great! The setlist for this show is "Time Is Ticking Out", "Linger", "In The Ghetto" (Elvis cover!), "Ode To My Family", "Shattered", "Animal Instinct", "Loud and Clear", "I Can't Be With You", "Analyse". Highly recommended for Cranfans!

you should buy this item
Hello,this dvd comes with several nice videos from The Cranberries. It is not easy to say which is the best among them. Zombie has a strong meaning: look at me, i am really upset with what happens nowdays. But also Linger is not bad: the idea of waiting for somebody who is loved without consuming the feelings of affection.Please, buy the DVD.Bye,Valerio Bea.

I watch the concert footage (in the extra materials) again and again.
I love Dolores O'Riordan (The Cranberries' outstanding singer/songwriter)! I often fall asleep listening to her wonderful songs performed in her lovely Irish brogue. The music videos on this DVD are OK, but the live concert footage in the bonus materials is outstanding! A very pregnant Dolores plays to a rapt audience in a small venue. I watch the concert footage again and again.

Cranberries Have Great Songs
I really like the Cranberries' music, and all their music videos are on this DVD. Delores can't really dance too well, so the videos aren't enhanced that much by the people being in it. Their songs are great, and having the videos makes the experience complete like trying to get all their CDs, it just seem like a must-do or a must-have for their fans. The extras are abundant, and makes this DVD a value.

Not as Good as it could have been
I really was excited to see that the Cranberries compiled all of the videos to my favorite songs. I was a bit upset at the videos themselves, some are kind of cheesy, but enjoyed them nonetheless. The live performances are not their best, but the documentary was fabulous!

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.

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.
