I watched Baraka on Blu-ray tonight, Visually compelling to say the least, on a 60" 1080p plasma screen visually stunning. Highly recommended.

I'm a fan of The Cranberries and I have The Cranberries: Beneath the Skin Live in Paris (version 2) on its way from Zip and I was wondering if anyone has seen it. It has gotten very favorable reviews like this one .

The Cranberries were the first band I really got into. I do have that concert disc (had version 1 with the horrible menus as well), but I don't think I've watched it all the way through. I don't think I've tried watching it since getting my Axioms, actually. I remember thinking the quality was pretty good, though it wasn't necessarily her strongest performance. I liked Dolores's stage presence more toward the beginning of her career. I watched their first concert video (simply The Cranberries Live on VHS a lot way back then, so I was glad when they finally put that on DVD.

"Dreams" and "Zombie" were probably their two biggest hits. I bet you'd recognize them if you heard them.

I was disappointed in the Cranberries after I bought the album with Zombie on it and nothing else sounded like that.

I think they wrote that song while on tour supporting their first album--you know, the one that sounded good. "Zombie" was definitely unlike all the other songs on the second record, which all sounded similar save for the one. Made "Zombie" seem even better and the rest more of the same.

I actually like several of the songs off that album. I never thought they sounded too samey. These days I do prefer the first album, but the second album was my first, so I'll always have a soft spot for it.

Are they still together? I bought all their CDs (five, I think?), but haven't heard anything out of them in a while. I may have to search "teh internets."
Yeah, CV, that v1 menu is really weird. They tried too hard to make you think you were in the Matrix, or something.
