Cry is the thirteenth album by Scottish rock band Simple Minds, officially released on 1 April 2002.

Overview

As Jim Kerr stated at the time of the album release: «"I like the idea of very focused melodies, tight arrangements, commercial stuff. I said to Charlie: This is the only kind of music I want to make just now. Let's try and go on the edge and do some real pop stuff."»
