Whether this is the case for the newly reunited Cranberries, no one cares. The important thing is that  Dolores O’ Riordan and her gang are back – to take your money for more beautiful songs and live shows.

The Cranberries showed up at Terminal 5 on May 4 to support their new album “Roses” and re-establish their place in the now fragmented musical landscape.
