Untitled

To the Faithful Departed is an album released by The Cranberries in 1996. This album was made in memory of Danny Cordell (a friend of the band) and Joe (vocalist Dolores O'Riordan's grandfather), who had both died that year. All lyrics by Dolores O'Riordan, and all music by O'Riordan except tracks 2, 8, 9, and 12, by O'Riordan and Noel Hogan. In the U.S., the album has sold 1.7 million copies as of April 2007. This was a much darker album, with more guitars than its predecessors.

It went 4x Platinum in Taiwan, 3x Platinum in Canada and New Zealand, and 2x Platinum in Austria, France, Hong Kong, Malaysia and U.S. It has sold over 6 million copies to date. It produced the hit singles: "Salvation", "Free to Decide" and "When You're Gone". It reached number-one on the ARIA Albums Chart in Australia.
