Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 2008, 'Gold' is a compilation album marking a retrospective of The Cranberries' career, following their hiatus after the release of 'Wake Up and Smell the Coffee' in 2001. At this point, the band was navigating a resurgence in popularity, reigniting interest in their classic hits while still grappling with the loss of lead singer Dolores O'Riordan's unique vocal presence.
