"One of best songs on the Cranberries 4th album Bury the Hatchet. This album has been in perminant rotation on my cd player. You may ask why buy the single if you have the album? I have two ways to answer that question. Bonus live tracks, to this point the cranberries have not yet released a live album. If you never heard them live, well your missing the band at it best. Secondly the artwork and packaging for the four singles released from BTH have been awsome. Designed by Storm Thorgerson (designer of pink floyd albums) this may be some of his best work. I know most of music fans are not collectors (ya right) if you are you need to buy this single. You will not be disappointed."
It's not my imagination...this is real talent.

"This beautiful album starts off with the so charming 'Just My Imagination', which is a delightful return to the way The Cranberries were not to long ago, a'la the hit album 'No Need To Argue'. The lyrics of this song, though repetitive, are not just your ordinary sing-a-long variety, but are the fruit of the real talent that is The Cranberries, while the brilliant melodies complement the carefree mood. As for the three live tracks that follow, The Cranberries' knack for crafting great songs shines on through, with the oft-played 'Dreams', the gorgeous folk-tinged 'Ode to my Family', and a new but nonetheless captivating song based on Dolores O'Riordan's (the lead singer) personal experiences, 'Animal Instinct'. For old fans, this is a wonderful treat that is well worth the three year wait; and if the band is new to you, then you're in for a listen that's chock-full of heartfelt lyrics, music that just carries you away, and work that's full of talent. Trust me, it won't be your imagination!"
