text: # It's Alright (Echo & the Bunnymen song)
  
  "It's Alright" is a single by Echo & the Bunnymen which was released on 23 April 2001 on the Cooking Vinyl record label. It was the first single to be released from the 2001 album Flowers. It reached number 41 on the UK Singles Chart.
  
  ## Overview
  
  The single was released as a 7-inch single and as two separate CD versions – apart from the title track, all three releases had different track listings and each with a different cover. The covers of the three different versions, like their parent album Flowers, are pictures taken from the book Wisconsin Death Trip.
  
  Written and produced by Will Sergeant and Ian McCulloch, the title track also had additional production, engineering and mixing by Pete Coleman. The version of "Rescue" on CD No. 1 was mixed by Joe McKechnie.
  
  ## Critical reception
  
  The song has received mixed reviews. Allmusic described the song as rolling with "layered guitars", with McCulloch experimenting vocally for a "rough-edged spiral of psychedelics and '60s pop flair" and chose the song as an AMG pick from the Flowers album. CanEhdian.com described the single as having "both the style and beat that seems to be needed for commercial success". NME was less positive, describing it as "a dead-on pastiche of the swirling, Doors-y acid rock" and "not a great song".
  
  ## Cover versions
  
  A cover version of "It's Alright", performed by Bombones, is included on the 2005 Spanish tribute album Play the Game: Un Tributo a Echo & the Bunnymen.
