This band was in the most recent MMMM as well! I studied the grid very closely so I remember :-) Not super familiar to me, but having looked them up I do remember and like at least one of their songs ("Breathless"). Nice puzzle, thanks!
Nice job, Ben! I'm not familiar with the band, but I love the way you tied in the corners.
boharr 3s · over 2 years ago
Never heard of the band or the album. Par for the course. Google needed,
JHSeeman 2s · over 2 years ago
Good One, nice meta with the names tied into the album.
Thanks
Alex Sisti 2s · over 2 years ago
Great band, each more beautiful than the next...
Ergcat 16:27 · over 2 years ago
Excellent puzzle! Took me a little while to get the correct names ( Andrea not Andre, Caroline not Carol, etc) but once I did it was quick to The Corrs. Then I listed the albums and quickly saw TALK in the grid corners! Clever construction there!
Thank you for a fun puzzle, Ben!
Ergcat 16:27 · over 2 years ago
I just realized what you did at 40a!!!
You gave a bonus hint! CORES sounds like…..
hoover 3s · over 2 years ago
Me too, only I had Caroline, Andrea, Jimmi, and Sharon. That was close enough to get me to The Corrs, at which point I remembered 40A. Wikipedia gave their best known album, which sent me back to the grid to check the corners. Great construction!

Had to google but I just loved the way I knew that if I went back to the grid and checked, I'd be able to narrow down which album. :D Terrific! Thanks Ben!
Qmark 4s · over 2 years ago
Nice one, Ben. Knew the band but not the album.
Carolyn 3s · over 2 years ago
Sounds like I need to check them out! Thanks for the puzzle.
DrTom 3s · over 2 years ago
Whoops, premature detect elation. I, of course (Corrs, Corrs) submitted the band name, was told I was incorrect, said “What!” then read the directions. Nice one with LOTS OF internal references/ Easter eggs. Loved the last step. I do love me some Irish fiddle in a song, it just leaves me breathless (oh and I looked for; panting, gasping, asthmatic or puffing in the grid)

I did have to google to learn the band. And then couldn't figure out which album was the answer. Lucky for me (and for whoever tallies incorrect submissions) they only have seven of them. AFTER I hit on the answer, I noticed T-A-L-K in the corners. Doh!!! Now to listen to a few tracks...
I'm not complaining. It was fair. I'm just surprised how inefficient google was was I had any of the names even a little off.
ChrisCross 🤓14:17 · over 2 years ago
Lol my first try was "Jim, Carol, Sharona, and Andre"
HeadinHome 🤓15:28 · over 2 years ago
Def. had to google these names to get a group, but now that I looked them up and gave a listen, of course I have heard their songs! Great puzzle, and getting to the album to choose wasn’t hard!
