Cultural Facts:

1. Scene Ecology The Cranberries broke out from Limerick rather than London, Manchester, or Dublin, giving early-90s alternative music a different Irish regional identity.
2. Personal Struggle Dolores O’Riordan later spoke publicly about childhood sexual abuse, depression, and alcohol problems; her 2018 death was ruled an accidental drowning due to alcohol intoxication.
3. Studio Lore The album’s success built slowly, helped by heavy touring and American radio, turning a small Irish guitar-pop band into one of the major alternative acts of the decade.
