Poison The Well take a giant leap forward for metalcore-kind with their first album on the Ferret Music label, VERSIONS. The Floridian trio sequestered themselves in a barn in Sweden (of all places), coming out of the process with a set that is equal parts fiercely intense and melodic/artsy. On this ambitious record, fans of PTW may be surprised to find mandolin, banjo, and horns alongside the requisite guitar/bass/drums assault.

Spin (p.90) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he album of their career....PTW's songs have never been so multilayered, or their focus so staggeringly intense."

Alternative Press (p.155) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "VERSIONS capitalizes on the fundamentals that have always made PTW awesome -- fast and forceful indignation bound to an uncommonly natural gift for the unhappily mellow."
