- 5 stars is for the music aloneFor those of you that don't already own a copy of "Everybody Else is Doing it so Why Can't We?", buy this album. It's an excellent piece of music from one of the '90s top bands. For those that already own the original release, save your money. The disc was released in 1992, not on ..... old analog equipment, so you won't be able to tell a difference in the sound quality. The bonus tracks are nice, but not enough to make shelling out the extra money worth it. Hope this helps.

- Everybody Else is Remastering so Why Can't They?Well...I have to agree completely with the previous reviewer; with so many pre-1990's artists re-releasing albums originally recorded in analog (ie. Pet Shop Boys, Tears for Fears, Cocteau Twins), and doing it well (digital sound quality, expanded liner notes, extra tracks & remixes), The Cranberries unfortunately rank at the bottom of the "must-have remasters" list. Shame, because "EEIDISWCW?", and "No Need to Argue" are two of the most important albums of that decade, but with no noticable improvement in sound quality, the purist's sole reason for purchasing these revamped versions has been removed. The new packaging and two or three extra tracks on each release are a nice bonus, but do not warrant purchasing all of these albums again, if you already own them (and everyone certainly should). In short, buy "Everyone Else...?" only if you do not have it, as it IS one of the most important records of the 1990's, but if improved sound quality is what you are looking for, steer clear of these releases. Five stars for album, one star for "remaster"

- Close to my heartFrom start to finish, one of the most emotionally honest albums ever made, and one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time. It's 1993 and I'm 18 every time I listen to this CD. Love it.

- "I Still Do" love this debut.Even though their 2nd album is usually thought of as their best, this one is actually my favorite. It seems very genuine, innocent, and "Pretty", much like "The Sundays". It does include "Linger", and possibly their most well known song "Dreams", but I enjoy it for the other tracks even more. I like the moodier songs "Put Me Down", "Not Sorry", and "I Will Always" alot more than some of their later pop-rock stuff, though that's good too. The bonus tracks here are all good, but nothing to buy this twice for. More casual fans might just want "Stars: 1992-2002", but I couldn't do without this one.

- Umm... I wouldn't call it "remastered" but...the bonus songs are still worth it if you already have this cd and have considered buying it. I'd have to say though I'm pretty darn familiar with being able to tell when a cd has been "remastered" or not, and I can honestly say I hear no sound quality difference. One of the easiest ways to tell if a cd has been remastered is when you notice you don't have to turn the volume up nearly as high to hear the music at louder levels. Uh..this one's no different. However, this has always been one of my favorite albums.. I absolutely love it. So...if you're in the mood to get this debut album wrapped in cooler packaging, with some bonus songs, it will probably suit your fancy.
