Official Announcement | Published: May 22, 2026 1:19 PM EDT

(Reybee) In celebration of the 33rd anniversary of their groundbreaking and chart-topping debut album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?, The Cranberries have released the 33rd Anniversary Deluxe Edition today, May 22, 2026 via Island/Ume.

The premier album is presented in seven configurations with assorted editions offering extra content, including completely new 2026 stereo mixes by the albums original producer Stephen Street, track-by-track notes from the band, art notes from original designer Cally Callomon and photographer Andy Earl, and assorted remixes including the dreamy remix of "Linger" by CHVRCHES' Iain Cook which Pitchfork called " so beautiful and vulnerable." Two Spanish reinterpretations of the album's biggest hits - "Linger" and "Dreams," featuring the bedroom pop stylings of Mexican artist Bratty and rising indie pop artist ANASOF respectively round out the added content.

Praising Bratty's version of "Linger," Billboard said, "The young singer-songwriter from the Mexican state of Sinaloa challenges purists with a bold remix that pays tribute to one of the most beautiful ballads of the 1990s." Likewise, El Heraldo heralded ANASOF's interpretation of "Dreams" as "deep and complex... keeping alive the essence of the iconic voice of the '90s."

In an April 23, 2026 feature on The Cranberries, Rolling Stone extols the legacy of their music and "Linger" in particular to "Dolores' mournful voice, the languid guitar beauty, the upfront Celtic melancholy, the confidently unhurried intro that lingers nearly a minute." Collider listed the album in it's Best Rock Albums of the '90s Ranked" at #11, hailing the band as "one of the most original bands of the 1990s, if not of all time-and with good reason," saying it's "considered a classic today, its signature sound inimitable."

Originally released on March 1, 1993, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? hit the No. 1 spot in both the UK and Ireland and has sold more than six million copies worldwide. Spawning two Top Ten singles - the debut lead single "Dreams" and its mainstream breakthrough follow-up "Linger" which cemented the band's position within the rock world, the album highlighted the unique vocal stylings of Dolores O'Riordan (whose untimely passing in 2018 rocked the music industry). Combining Gaelic, Catholic, and indie vocal influences, O'Riordan coupled her relatable lyrics that captured the frustrations of late adolescence, giving these songs universal appeal. In the 33 years since its release, this carefully crafted debut has stood the test of time as a landmark album. Stream the album Stream the album here
