Pledge music finally extends pre-order time for "Science Agrees".

Literally went from 3 days to 87 days since this morning. Still lists the release date as May 27th though.

(Open note to D.A.R.K. and their representatives: a promotional video would probably go a long way at boosting pre-order sales - just my opinion, knowing full well that no one with any sway will likely read this.)

Wow!

Dolores' song for the Irish homeless charity album revealed - "God Be With You"

It's unclear whether this is the same old version or a new version. I will keep you posted.

Edited to add: The album will be available in Ireland in record stores (do they still have those in Ireland) in Starbucks and on Itunes this Friday the 13th.

"Science Agrees" delayed to August 19th in the US

Just as I predicted, Amazon has updated the release date of the MP3 version of the album to August 19th. The physical copies will likely follow suit soon.

D.A.R.K. tour and album postponed, New Cranberries album of reworked songs?

As previously reported "Science Agrees" had been pushed back to June 24th in the States. Now it appears the release has been postponed everywhere else, to July and August. I'm expecting the US release date to be pushed back again, as we never get anything early here.

Pushing back an album, for me, is not a big deal, but it's a real shame that the tour dates for the end of May have also all been pushed back to September. Really sorry to all the fans who had tickets, especially those who had booked flights and hotel rooms.

The official excuse is that the lead guitarist (presumably Andy Rourke) will be unavailable to tour at the end of this month.

Also there are unofficial rumblings (Cranberries World) that The Cranberries are reworking old songs with the Irish Chamber Orchestra for a possible upcoming new record. We shall see.
