It's been 10 years since the Cranberries released an album. On Roses,
     the reformed quartet continues to showcase the distinctive Gaelic
     lilt of vocalist Dolores O'Riordan.

Although it's been more than 10 years since The Cranberries' last
     studio album, the band's 2012 crop, Roses, simply picks up the
     melodic strains of yesteryear and carries on. The reformed quartet
     continues to showcase the distinctive Gaelic lilt of vocalist Dolores
     O'Riordan over chiming guitars, silken strings, and military rhythms.
     With longstanding producer Stephen Street at the helm, the overall
     effect is pretty seamless. There's a sense of mutual respect that
     shines through the tight ensemble playing. The record shows a certain
     growth and maturity, but if you were hoping for a sharp left turn in
     musical direction, you won't find it here.

Roses beds in quickly with arguably the two strongest cuts up first.
     'Conduct' is a compelling starter, developing an argument for saving
     a relationship as sentiments move from a position of 'Now it's too
     late, I can see that we should not be together' to that of 'When we
     get along, we're really strong.' The battle tone is neatly set by
     martial drums in the opening instrumental build and resolved through
     a progressive melody colored by O'Riordan's assertive vocal. It's
     followed by an equally classic Cranberries cut in the shape of
     'Tomorrow,' an older and wiser call to cast angst aside and seize the
     day. Its breezy melody is decorated with crisp guitar picking, and
     busy percussion finds O'Riordan in that smooth, effortless gear of
     hers.

The opening songs represent a high ground that the rest approaches
     but does not quite reach. While the music continues to flow and
     lyrics duly explore elements of love, sex, and death, the path is a
     well-trodden one. We reach a subdued yet heartfelt ending in the
     ghostly title track. 'Life is no garden of roses, more like a thistle
     in time,' O'Riordan intones in breathy phrases, squeezing out
     mortality among the crescendos. It is a sparse, melancholic turn that
     takes a bit of sheen off the tuneful heart of the album, yet sits
     well against the more contemplative material, such as the gentle
     electronica of 'Fire & Soul.'

In contrast, the strident rocker 'Schizophrenic Playboy' seems
     destined to be a crowd pleaser, designed to be played loud live and
     even sung along to lustily as it warns of sexual predators. The
     violin break in the bridge is a nice counter to the raunchier
     progressions. The Kinks-like 'Waiting In Walthamstow' adds further
     variety. Walthamstow is a district in northeast London; it hasn't
     enjoyed too many moments in the sun musically, even though its dog
     racing stadium graced the cover of Blur's 1994 album Parklife. Yet
     the way O'Riordan eases its syllables into the lyric, we could be
     talking Paris in spring.

'Show Me' could do with a similar spark of originality. It's a bit
     too radio-friendly for its own good and comes across as a composite
     Cranberries song without real finesse. All the elements are there,
     from punchy strings to potent guitars with a beefy chorus accented by
     powerful percussion, but as a song, it doesn't convince. It's a rare
     flat spot. Much better is the wistful, dream-like 'Astral
     Projection.' in which the signature big chorus plays out far better
     against the softer verses.

Taken as a whole, the album conveys a sound that is uniquely
     Cranberries with the production polish you'd expect. Arguably
     mellower, definitely matured, Roses is a collection that will please
     more than enough people to chart without quite winning best in bloom.
