9. Letter Thing (Versions, 2007)
“This album is seriously one of the best metal albums out there, had such a unique vibe to it. They really pushed some boundaries on this one, I think they deserve to be getting all the praise the likes of Mastodon have been getting.”
8. Parks And What You Meant To Me (Tear from the Red, 2002)
“Great album, they even put a great acoustic song(horns and tails), alot of great songs, and once again oasis r ace go eat ur shit cuz u and ur little poppy bands suck stop posting the same comment all over the place without even listening to the album”
7. Artist’s Rendering To Me (Distance Only Makes the Heart Grow Fonder, 1998)
“I personally feel like it’s a shame that most fans of Metalcore music don’t even know the history of the genre. If they knew the history then they would know old classic bands like Poison The Well.”

6. Crystal Lake (You Come Before You, 2003)
“Excellent album with a slight change of style compared to The Opposite of December. Added to their violent metalcore we find here some nice guitar atmospheres which make a very powerful combination when suddenly counterposed. Great.”
5. Apathy Is A Cold Body (You Come Before You, 2003)
“This is the perfect album for desperation. You know, the singer screams really helps you letting away the pain. Sad but aggressive music… That can cut you like a piece of paper if you’re not prepared… And awesome lyrics too!!”
4. Slice Paper Wrists (The Opposite of December… A Season of Separation, 1999)
“A powerful mix of emotions into a blend of music that emotions need to be found more. Poison the Well has gone through many changes in its past, but found their exact match when they found lead singer Jeffery. He brings his emotions and voice into the whirlpool of guitars and fast beating drums making this EP a heart beating masterpeice.”

3. Botchla (Tear from the Red, 2002)
“The lyrics and screaming is awesome, plus the guy has a great singing voice, even if it doesn’t come out all that much. The guitar is heavy and creative, with a lot of cool riffs and fills. But what it really lacks is the awesome drumming of the O of D.”
2. Exist Underground (The Tropic Rot, 2009)
“This band has been one of my favorite forever and ever and I got the blessing to see them at a very very small show – fucking amazing! God every song is awesome no matter how much they switch it up.”
1. Nerdy (The Opposite of December… A Season of Separation, 1999)
“After hearing this album, poison the well turned into my favorite band. The cd is full with awesome breakdowns but also very nice melodic parts, and even a couple of punk beats, and I hear they put on an awesome show.”
