The Manges who have been in the game for two decades, able to step out from the shade and security of the predictable, while still maintaining their identity as veteran punk rockers. All Is Well, The Manges' fourth full-length album, is the answer to "Road To Ruin". Classic, old school punk rock. A new take on an old sound. Guitars ring through crisp and clear with little to no distortion, rhythms pop, and vocals soar above. This album is the number 1 pretender to the best release of the past year in the genre.

The Manges, in a wonderful effort to separate themselves from the all too common sound of modern pop punk records, chose to strip down to the most fundamental level of punk rock. The album was recorded from December 2013 through January 2014 at the TUP Studio in Brescia, Italy with Hervé Peroncini (of The Peawees & Manges former founding member) as producer. His '60s soul style of rhythm and blues and roots rock 'n roll are heavily present in the album's sound. Lower distortion, a vintage studio, and different elements with instrumentation really gave them an opportunity to show their full potential as musicians and the result is beautiful.

"Crocodile In My Head' is one of those songs you learn quickly due to it's simplicity and love for just how purely punk rock it is. Great way to start! "My Bad" is a tale of growing up as a troublemaker and stays within that funny feeling. But there's a great range in these 12 songs with tracks like "Love Is A Disease". This is just such a good song with a ton of pop sensibility, immaculate vocals, and a hook that could be heard in your sleep.That realistic approach to romance comes through with so much more authenticity than the countless, made for mass appeal fabrications out there in the pop punk universe. "Don't Bet On Me" has a great beat driving the song through by the always reliable and tight skill of Manuel and features an impeccable solo by Mayo. Adding to the variance in this record is their choice to cover "I Tried To Die Young", originally performed by the longtime and well celebrated singer/songwriter Melanie Safka. By origin this is an acoustic folk song but they certainly took and made it their own, perfectly translated to Manges sound. Also you'll find a terrific instrumental, "Topolinia" which is the Italian name for Mouseville and it has every bit of playfulness to match the title, featuring a pretty lead played by Andrea. "Secret Agent Super Dragon" is very cool for two reasons, the first being it was written by Dan Vapid, originally intended for the final Riverdales album "Tarantula". Second reason is Mass takes the lead on vocals and it was a brilliant move! The closing "Lone Commando" (which also was released as 7" single with an exclusive B-side "Steadfast Tin Soldier") is one of a couple darker tracks on the record touching on the subject of war and has such a fantastic ending with the title "All Is Well" sang in repetition until the fade out.

"All Is Well" is an anomaly among a sea of releases coming out this year but this one wins my choice for number one for the risks that were taken and opportunity it gives the punk rock/pop punk world to see things can be done in a different way, honor the foundation that is responsible for this kind of music's existence, and make just as powerful of a statement. It is is an absolute a standout gem of a record the entire way through and I highly recommend you add it to your collection!
