Something Else mixes new songs with orchestral re-recordings, but the writing credits hold to the band's pattern: O'Riordan wrote every lyric, with the music split between her and Noel Hogan and a set credited to her alone, including 'When You're Gone,' 'Zombie,' 'Rupture,' and 'Why?' The reworked songs carry their original credits, so the album stays entirely self-authored.
Something Else is the seventh studio album by The Cranberries, released in April 2017 and recorded with the Irish Chamber Orchestra. Most of the album reworks the band's best-known songs, including 'Linger,' 'Dreams,' and 'Zombie,' as acoustic and orchestral versions, alongside three new compositions: 'The Glory,' 'Rupture,' and 'Why?' Wikipedia classes it as a studio album, though its core is fresh recordings of earlier material rather than all-new songs. O'Riordan wrote all the lyrics across the new and original songs, with the music shared between her and Noel Hogan or credited to her alone. It was the last album the band released during O'Riordan's lifetime, ahead of her death in January 2018.
