To the Faithful DepartedTo the Faithful Departed is the third studio album by the Irish rock band
The Cranberries, released on 30 April 1996. The album was made in memory
of Denny Cordell who signed the band to Island Records[9] and Joe (vocalist
Dolores O'Riordan's grandfather), who had both died that year.

The album sleeve photo session was made up of two parts, the first being the
original design for the front cover, a naked baby boy (supplied by their press
officer Smash at Island Records) on his back urinating into the air which was
shot in photographer Andy Earl's new studio on Shad Thames in London, and
the band seated in a yellow room.
At the last minute, at Dolores O'Riordan's request, the two were swapped and
the yellow room became the front cover.
The yellow room was designed to be an echo of the previous two album
sleeves. It was built in London and transported to the Lake District and
erected in a forest near Loughrigg Holme. Snow fell on the erection day and
the band spent as little time as possible on the shoot clad, as they were, in new
purple Dolce and Gabbana outfits.

3. "When You're Gone" Released: 12 November 1996
4. "Hollywood" Released: 1 May 1997
A new logo and typeface were decided upon signifying the band's desire to
move on from the strict repetition of the previous album sleeves. Incidental
studio photos were included, taken by Cally in the band's studio in Vancouver,
Canada. Cally added "I attended the surreal Brit Awards where Jarvis Cocker
invaded Michael Jackson's stage and left soon after to drive
through horizontal snow to get to the Lake District in readiness for
the photo shoot the next day. On waking in the Ambleside Hotel I
saw Jarvis on the front cover of every paper, being released from
jail with Nigel, The Cranberries A&R man beside him. Things only
became more surreal when we realised that later we were shooting
the band bravely clad in thin purple suits under snowfall in a yellow
room in a forest in the Lake District".
To promote "To the Faithful Departed", The Cranberries appeared
on different television shows (1995–96)
