  • On all releases of the album outside the United States, "Capetown" is replaced with a cover of Elvis Presley's "In the Ghetto" and includes one or two live songs (from the '99 concert in Paris that appears on the band's dvd Beneath The Skin).
  • There was an additional b-side, titled "Many Days," which was released as a download on The Cranberries' official website. It was later given a "hard release" on the bonus disc of the South East Asia version of the album.

The album was for many critics, one of the best albums of the band. This album shows the maturity of the band. The optimism of the lyrics, shows the good moment they were having in that year, very different to the 1995 - 1996 dark time. It went platinum In Italy, selling over 100.000 copies there. It has sold over 1.500.000 copies to date.
