Wake Up and Smell the Coffee is the fifth studio album by The Cranberries. Released in 2001, the album has sold 170,000 copies in the US as of April 2007. Worldwide, the album sold 1,300,000 copies by 2002.[5]

This marks the band's only album on MCA Records. They were transferred to MCA after the merger of PolyGram (which owned their previous label, Island Records) with MCA's parent Universal Music Group in 1999.

Artwork

Designer Storm Thorgerson, who also designed the cover of their previous album, Bury the Hatchet.,[5] said: "The idea of red balls came from granules of coffee percolating the atmosphere, settling in your nose and waking you up. These became red (cranberries) and then enlarged to gym balls to satisfy our rampant egos. The location changed from an interior to an open space. Because this idea was preposterous, it needed testing before we did the proper thing on a beach in Somerset. The test… was done on a small grass aerodrome near London."[24]

The version of the artwork featuring a man in bed on the beach is clearly indebted to another Thorgerson creation: Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason.

  • "Never Grow Old" was used in the pilot episode of Alias.
