"Roses" is the band's first studio release in ten years. The album deals with relationships, both romantic love and love in other forms. All lyrics has been written and all music composed by Dolores O'Riordan.
When it comes to "Roses" after the first listen I didn't feel this album. Just noticed that the style for predecessors hasn't been a drastic change. I tried to discern some resemble to hit like "Zombie", but unfortunately I haven't found anything like that. Moreover, somehow it didn't attract me to the next records. Listening carefully, focusing on songs and yet my only though was 'let's finally over'. It didn't make me tired, it was annoying. Sounds are really nice and well balanced, but for the first time absolutely nothing caught my ear,
Fortunately, with each approach it seemed to be getting better. Songs aren't very catchy. There is nothing to hum, nothing memorable. However, the temper is very nice. Maybe it's a little sluggishly, but as you feel this subtle, relaxing atmosphere, you're going to enjoy them.
Album "Roses" is optimal. On the one hand, it contains the composition you can listen without any pain and even with a pleasure. However, lack of assertiveness and light monotony caused by low diversity and pace, significantly reduce its attractiveness. Fans may be happy, because it's still an ambitions work. Unfortunately for me it is just ordinary.
