Following an IRA attack that resulted in the death of two children, The Cranberries wrote 'Zombie' to speak out against violence and pose one question to extremists: “What's in your head?” Music is one of society's best teachers.

Read More »While the 1990s was an era of musical innovation, for Ireland it was also a time of political unrest. At the time, the Irish music scene was led by punk and rock bands whose songs reflected the country’s rage and uncertainty with their government, and at the forefront of this movement was The Cranberries. The female-fronted band built its sound on dreamscape melodies and the wavering trademark vocals of lead singer Dolores O'Riordan. In 1994, the band members showcased an angstier side demonstrating their anger towards Ireland's political conflict in their 1994 single “Zombie.” The group wrote “Zombie'' in the wake of The Troubles, a 30-year conflict between Protestant unionists and Roman Catholic nationalists regarding the United Kingdom’s involvement in the Irish government. At the time, The Irish Republican Army (IRA) was a prominent militia group that had an ongoing campaign of violent attacks to pressure the U.K. to withdraw from its country’s government. One of these attacks was the 1993 Warrington bombings, which resulted in the death of two young boys.With neither Ireland or the U.K willing to negotiate or take responsibility for their actions, the conflict was seemingly caught in an endless cycle of denial. When the bombings occurred, The Cranberries were touring in the U.K., and the harrowing tragedy inspired lead singer Dolores O'Riordan to write what would become the group’s biggest hit. Ambiguity lies within the song’s opening line: “Another head hangs lowly / Child is slowly taken.” It is unclear if the low-hanging head belongs to a shameful extremist or a grieving mourner. Menacing instrumentals stir as O'Riordan questions the effectiveness of the IRA’s violence: “And the violence caused such silence/ Who are we mistaken?” Defensive and armed with her words, O'Riordan uses the following lines to deflect assumptions that she supports the IRA solely because of her Irish heritage. “The IRA are not me. I’m not the IRA. The Cranberries are not the IRA,” O’ Riordan told Vox. She reveals that the issue is not with Ireland as a whole, but with the few people that are stuck in the past and willing to go to extreme measures to spread their beliefs. In the song, her voice grows louder as she sings, “But you see, it’s not me, it’s not my family / In your head, in your head, they are fightin’.” Simmering with aggravation, the chorus is bombarded with heavy instrumentals. O’ Riordan's usual lush vocals shift to aching growls and wails, fueled by the loss and sorrow of Ireland’s conflict. The chorus poses the question for both sides of The Troubles, asking what could’ve prompted such violent, unflinching actions. O’ Riodan’s voice keens as she refers to the extremists as zombies, who beyond being brain-eating monsters, are completely devoid of compassion and rationality: “What’s in your head, in your head? / Zombie, zombie.” Although The Troubles gained traction in the 1960s, the conflict between Ireland and the U.K is rooted deeply within Europe’s history. The song references Easter Rising, an insurrection led by Irish republican groups against British troops in 1916. After seizing multiple locations throughout Dublin, the Irish declared their country an independent republic and appointed a provisional government. This was quickly met with opposition from British troops, and fighting broke out, resulting in the death of over 400 civilians. The lyrics compare the historical revolt to the IRA’s bombing, with both events resulting in carnage:

What does it truly mean to be called one of the worst video games of all time? While such a list could easily be filled with Steam asset flips that use your hardware to mine cryptocurrency, the gaming world has collectively decided that those games aren’t worth discussing. You could even argue they’re not really games. A much better metric for finding the worst games ever is Metacritic, which collects review scores from across the internet and takes an average out of 100. The lowest-rated games on the site are games prominent enough that big reviewers saw potential in them, only for that hope to be dashed with some truly diabolical games. We’ve gone to the very bottom of Metacritic’s rankings to tell you what the worst video games of all time are, and what reviewers said about them.
