Bury the Hatchet is the fourth studio album by Irish rock band The Cranberries, released in 1999. In the US, the album has sold 377,000 copies as of April 2007 and received a gold certification on 2 June 1999.^[11]

The album is the first album released by the band after their first hiatus, which began in 1996. Dolores had taken that time to heal from stress-induced diseases, and also had her first child, Taylor, during this period. This last fact reflected on some of the tracks in the album, mainly on "Animal Instinct" and "You and Me".

The themes of the songs vary from maternity and children to divorce and child abuse. The album cover, which was designed by Storm Thorgerson,^[12] was later featured in Pitchfork Media's list of "The Worst Record Covers of All Time", which stated "Storm Thorgerson's artwork fluctuates between the iconic and the inane. This one falls into the latter category."^[13]

The vinyl version features a different track order (this is retained on its 2015 reissue). It has not been explained why this was done, as it was not done for time reasons. However, it does reflect the way earlier Cranberries releases featured a slow ballad as the third track, which was not the case with its CD version whch featured the hard rocking single "Promises" as the third track:

A1 Animal Instinct A2 Desperate Andy A3 Saving Grace B1 You And Me B2 Loud And Clear B3 Just My Imagination B4 Shattered C1 What's On My Mind C2 Copycat C3 Fee Fi Fo D1 Delilah D2 Promises D3 Sorry Son D4 Dying In The Sun

Personnel

Dolores O'Riordan – vocals, guitar, keyboards
Noel Hogan – acoustic and electric guitars
Mike Hogan – bass guitar
Fergal Lawler – drums and percussion
