    a beautiful and sweet album, the best cranberries album. Amazing job finding all of these newspaper, magazine and online articles as well as audio/video interviews and sharing them with the fans of The Cranberries community! Thank you so much!!!

    A truly harrowing album, The Cranberries leave the room on an emotional but triumphant note. May be one of their best albums right up there with "No Need To Argue".

    A final album that feels, regrettably, like a rehash of better songs from earlier albums. Little is added to the band's legacy, but no great shame is cast upon it either; and one can hardly blame the other band members for wanting to finish the album, despite their singer's untimely death.

    A very nice little record in its own right, but hardly the album I'd recommend to newcomers.

    This album is a return to old greatness, but it also has a sadder undertone than the older albums. Sadly, we will never be able to see them playing live again. Thank you for making such inspiring and moving music!!

    Самый стандартный проходной альбом. Весь альбом как ненавязчивая фоновая музычка. Ничего хорошего и ничего плохого в нем нет. Просто никакой.

    Приятная штука. Не знаю всех предысторий и насколько все было бы лучше будь все в порядке.

    "In The End" is a true return to form for the Irish alt rockers and at the same time a bittersweet sendoff. Not quite on the level of their albums from the 90s, but their best effort in the 21st century.

    Dolores death made me so so sad, but I'm glad that this album came out and gave us a sense of closure to this iconic band

    A fitting send-off. [Jul 2019, p.109]

    Though not perfect, In the End is a reminder of the smoldering vulnerability that earned The Cranberries their initial fame and a testament to why they’ll be remembered long after they’re gone.

    In the End is a moving album and a worthy epitaph for O’Riordan and the band’s legacy, but it leaves you wanting something more, something you’ll never get to hear: the comfort of knowing everything worked out OK. It’s a reminder that grief lingers.
