Untitled

No Need to Argue is an album by The Cranberries released in 1994. It was the band's most succesful album, and has sold about 16.7 million copies worldwide. It contains the band's greatest single to date: Zombie. The album's mood is a darker than than on Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? It shows a more mature Dolores, writing about war, death, love and disappointment. Her voice is clearer, without the previous album's double and triple voice layering. In some of the songs, the band decided to take on a rockier and heavier side, using distortion and increasing the volume.
