Patti Ambs on lead guitar, Inez Ftia on bass, and Scott Conner on drums Vernon, who writes all the songs, often uses humorous metaphors to relay meaningful messages or perhaps iust to be tunny Maybe he's talking about the deter location of our society, or maybe he really thinks 'Thumper started the punk scene * Most people don't care any way They want to know about the sound as a whole Basically. if you like Brush, Blues Travel, Of God Street Wine, you'll protoa bty enjoy The Zookeepers They're all in the same genre .

'Pods Of Introspection * These three songs are more uplifting than the rest of the album Track 12 was discovered the way most hidden tracks are waiting for the next CD to come on. and looking up to see the counter going backwards Secret songs are always a treat All in all, it's a fun album with catchy, 'it's stuck in my head again' songs, stylish musicians and excellent sound quality (considering it was recorded in someone s garage) Check them out live at John Henry's.

For (V Orjfon Duly F.mmU Cranberries have another hit with ‘No Need to Argue' Trie nice thing abou! eating cranberries is that are bit ter but also have a sweet taste That's how The Cranberries latest release, No Need To Argue sounds T he muse s sweet, but the words can be bitter or at toast melan choly No Need To Argue s similar to £\eryone Else Is Doing It, So Why Can ! IVo Dolores O Riordan, the load singer, achieves the same effect by using her wispy, melodic voice "I Can t Be With You* is the song that sounds most like it came oft the first album Most of the other songs are more pensive Twenty One* is about the feelings O'Riordan No Need To Argue Tfcr ( ni«hr'n«i had as she celebrated her twenty first birthday in 1992 "The lode Melts" is a touching song about a child's death "l *■*■*■** bf>ouiu HOI have read the paper today/Causo a child, child tie was taken away ' But it isn't just about lamenting a death, it s about being angry, too 'How could you hurt a chiid/Now does this make you satistied/l don't know what's happening to people today " Most of the songs on No Need To Argue are slow This speed enhances the songs The feeling on the title track is so believable because of its slower presenta tion The same is true for "Empty" and ‘Everything Said I Said “ My favorite song on the CD is "Zombie ' This is another song about killing and dying In the liner notes after the song lyrics, there is a note that reads " Zombie’ was written on The Cranberries’ English tour 1993 Man’s inhumanity to man and worse still, to a child " Quite a tew of the songs have notes after them, which makes the album seem more personal — TIUSTA NOEL Ortgcm ftiijy Emerald Ymr Final Destkiithn!
