The eighth and final studio album by The Cranberries, this is the first release since the death of lead singer Dolores O'Riordan in January 2018.

The surviving band-members pieced together her demos with in-studio recordings over the course of the subsequent year and worked with long-time producer Stephen Street to finalise the now critically-acclaimed album.

Reviews from Metacritic:

Q Magazine
A fitting send-off...

The Guardian
A wonderful epitaph...

The Independent
It sounds like The Cranberries found some kind of closure in this last record. Hopefully fans will, too.

The Skinny
In the End exemplifies the defiance that The Cranberries, and O’Riordan herself have shown throughout their career. Defiance of the status quo, defiance of violence, and ultimately defiance of death. It’s unmissable, unquestionable and unforgettable.

Mojo
A fitting, touching elegy for a bewitching talent.

Clash Music
An album pieced together by a band in mourning, with the sweet sadness of O'Riordan‘s voice layered over, makes it cruder, rawer yet ultimately more truthful and hard-hitting, evoking the charged vulnerability of their very first releases.

Rolling Stone
In the End is a moving album and a worthy epitaph for O’Riordan and the band’s legacy...

Uncut
Producer Stephen Street deftly updates the brio of their early hits and the songs are impressive, too.
