''Bury the Hatchet'' is the fourth album by The Cranberries, released in 1999. In the US, the album has sold 377,000 copies as of April 2007.

It's the first album released by the band after their first hiatus which started back in 1996. Dolores had taken that time to heal from stress-induced diseases, and also had her first child, Taylor, during this period. This last fact reflected on some of the tracks in the album, mainly on "Animal Instinct" and "You and Me".

The themes of the songs vary, from maternity and children, to divorce and child abuse. - Wikipedia
