Emerging from the incipient post-punk London scene with a healthy
fascination for late-'70s Bowie (and in turn, for his own attraction to
Krautrock), the then-sextet kicked up a slightly monochromatic but still
attractive storm on their debut. Richard Butler's
Thin-White-Duke-after-smoking vocal rasp has a surprising appeal,
serving up a wry, slightly detached series of lyrics on life. The
members of the core band, meanwhile, had clearly honed their chops well
on-stage; Ashton's lead

This album, which held the #1 spot on
the UK chart for most of 1981 (though only reaching #44 on the US

While The Cranberries first album was full of love and angst, this album
is darker and about violence.
The first song, "Ode to My Family",
is very much in the style of the songs from "Everybody Else Is Doing It,
So Why Can't We?" As full of angst as the former album, but th
