User Reviews for Twist & Shout

first things first - this store really does have a great selection. however, it does come at a price. new CD's are pretty expensive, but you will find some decent prices on used discs. personally, i'm a vinyl guy, and this is where i find t&s a bit lacking. the selection of new vinyl is fair, and priced on par with other stores in town. they also have an expansive selection of used vinyl, but unfortunately it is WAY overpriced. so if used vinyl is your bag, definitely check out wax trax or black & read first. also, most of the employees are incredibly snooty. last time i was there, i dropped about $70 and was treated like garbage by the hipster behind the counter. once again - go to the previously mentioned stores if you want to feel like your business is appreciated. also, the word from friends is that you do NOT want to sell your used LP's and CD's here, as they pay less than other used stores in town. pros - great selection, reasonably priced used CD's, free parking in garage cons - used vinyl is way too expensive, snooty employees,

Twist and Shout is the best record store I have ever been to. They have a great selection of everything. Their memorobilia and selection of apparel is un-matched!! They carry a great selection of Jamband cd's, like String Cheese Incident... An awesome place for everthing music.

Pros: Great Selection, Great clothes, Great Sticke select.

Cons: So much to buy!

I recently paid my first visit to Twist & Shout, and I have to say it was a very cool experience. There are so many different types of people in there to match the different music genres housed within the walls. I was there for what seemed like hours and emerged with some new stuff to try out. I'll be going back, for sure.

Pros: selection

Cons: a little crowded

If you're serious about music, this is your place. Forget about downloading it off the Net or buying it from some mega-conglomerate like Walmart which reduces art to a commodity. T&S is staffed with people who care about and know music and it shows in the way customers are treated as well as their extensive inventory.

Every visit I have made to Twist & Shout Underground has been a pleasant one. Their staff is knowledgable and willing to dispense advice, as needed. :)

You can find almost anything including used CD's. The store help is as eclectic as the store itself. On any given day you'll see a hippie, punk rocker, and a skinhead ready to find your selection. If they don't have they'll find it for you.

Pros: non chain, knowledgable staff

Cons: pricey

Sure the price might be a little high, but T & S has everything there. Coming from Chicago, I didn't think there was one good record store in town until I found Twist and Shout. I always know I'll be able to find what I'm looking for. The staff is pretty on top of music which is also great. Nothing I love more than spending half a day listening to music and shooting the poop about it. T & S is a good place to waste some time.

Pros: Selection, parking, location

Cons: Price
