By the Numbers
Roses keeps the band's standard split, with most songs credited to O'Riordan and Noel Hogan and four, including 'Tomorrow,' 'Waiting in Walthamstow,' 'Show Me,' and 'So Good,' credited to O'Riordan alone. She wrote every lyric, and the album carries no outside writers, so the reunion record stays fully self-authored like the rest of the catalog.
Roses is the sixth studio album by The Cranberries, released in February 2012 and their first new album after an eight-year hiatus. Reuniting once more with producer Stephen Street, the band returned to the melodic, jangly sound of their early records, drawing partly on material sketched during sessions years earlier. Lead single 'Tomorrow' and 'Show Me' led the release, which gave the band a modest chart return without recapturing their 1990s peak. O'Riordan wrote all the lyrics, with the music split between her and Noel Hogan and a set of songs credited to her alone. The album marked a warm, low-key comeback for the reunited group.
