Ex-Chiodos keyboardist Bradley Bell has commented on vocalist Craig Owens’ decision to re-record “All’s Well That Ends Well” with the band’s current lineup. He took issue with the lack of involvement from other members of the recording lineup and urged fans to listen to the original version instead.

Bell said the following:

“‘All’s Well That Ends Well‘ came out 20 years ago today. It’s pretty crazy to think about how much hard work and sacrifice we poured into creating that album back then. The years and days leading up to that point were the ironically glory filled ones when you would drive state to state just to play to a handful of people after eating a raw brick of ramen in the parking lot and begging your way post-gig to pass out on a strangers floor in complete content. When the album finally came out, we had a feeling of accomplishment that we had defeated some sort of odds and we were ready to pivot into an unknown territory of immeasurable adventures for the next decade.

These songs that were written in bedrooms, basements, and short buses meant a lot to us. They portrayed our stories, situations, and relationships through every note and lyric . I know that a lot of you share memories and a connection to this album as well that need to be genuinely preserved. I thank you for that bond and support.

So please: LET’S LISTEN TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION(not to be confused with a recent re-recorded version lacking 5/6 of the original recording members) OF THIS ALBUM THAT WAS RELEASED 20 YEARS AGO CRANKED UP EVEN LOUDER TODAY! CHEERS TO IT AND YOU ALL!”
