The Cranberries album reissue news: 'Wake Up and Smell the Coffee'

The Cranberries released their fifth album Wake Up And Smell the Coffee in Fall 2001. 

Now it will be re-released in an expanded Deluxe Edition for the 25th Anniversary on January 29 via Geffen/UMe in multiple configurations. 

Wake Up And Smell The Coffee reunited the band with producer Stephen Street who helped usher the band into international stardom with their first two albums Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? and No Need To Argue. “The boys were exactly the same; we just picked up where we’d left off which was wonderful,” says Street. 

“In Dolores [O’Riordan]’s case, there was no doubt that she’d turned into a star. On the first album, she was a very shy girl from Limerick who didn’t know much about the big bad world, but now she was well travelled and much more confident. Beneath it all, though, she was still the Dolores I knew and loved from the early days and very receptive to my ideas. She was a sweetheart.”

The album featured the singles “Analyse” and “Time Is Ticking Out.” 
Drummer Fergal Lawler says, "Creatively, Dolores was on fire.” 

Wake Up And Smell The Coffee (25th Anniversary) Deluxe Edition will be released in multiple formats with extra material, including a Limited Edition liquid coffee-filled LP with a scratch & sniff coffee-scented sticker. The 3LP black vinyl and 2CD Limited Edition comes packed with plenty of extras, including B-sides, previously unreleased live songs recorded at Dublin’s Vicar Street, new 2026 stereo mixes by original producer Stephen Street, the sought-after track “7 Years,” and expanded liner notes that includes new photos, liner notes, and a track-by-track retrospective from the band. Other formats include a Limited Edition 1LP in Skyburst Blue vinyl, standard 1LP in black vinyl, 1CD, and the Digital Deluxe Edition which includes all 36 tracks.
