To the Faithful Departed is the third studio album by Irish alternative rock{{cite web|url=https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/best-cranberries-songs-20-essential-tracks/|title=Limerick alt.rock icons The Cranberries |website=udiscovermusic.com|date=9 October 2019|accessdate=9 October 2019}} band the Cranberries, released on 22 April 1996. The album was made in memory of Denny Cordell who signed the band to Island Records{{cite news |title=Denny Cordell, 51, Record Producer (Published 1995) |work=The New York Times |date=25 February 1995 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/02/25/obituaries/denny-cordell-51-record-producer.html?scp=1&sq=denny%20cordell&st=cse}} and Joe O'Riordan (vocalist Dolores O'Riordan's grandfather), who had both died that year.{{cite web|url=http://entertainmentvoice.com/2018/01/15/remembering-the-cranberries-dolores-oriordan-a-voice-that-represented-a-generation/|title=A Voice That Represented a Generation: Remembering The Cranberries' Dolores O'Riordan|website=entertainmentvoice.com|date=16 January 2018|accessdate=19 December 2019}}{{cite web|url=https://www.towerrecords.ie/product/CRANBERRIES_TOTHEFAITHFULDEPARTED_THECOMPLETESESSIONS(1996_1997)/57784|title= CRANBERRIES – TO THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED: THE COMPLETE SESSIONS(1996–1997)|website=towerrecords.ie|date=7 November 2002|accessdate=19 December 2019}} The album reached number one in four countries and became the band's highest-charting album on the US Billboard 200, where it peaked at number four.

Packaging

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) lying on his back, 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 day of the photoshoot, and the band spent as little time as possible on the shoot clad, as they were wearing new purple Dolce & Gabbana outfits.

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".

Despite this, the remaining dates of the North American tour and the European leg of the Free to Decide World Tour were canceled.
