Versions (Poison the Well album)

Versions is the fourth studio album by the American metalcore band Poison the Well, released on April 3, 2007. Recorded with producers Eskil Lövström and Pelle Henricsson in Umeå, Sweden, work on the album commenced in May 2005, whilst Poison the Well were still under contract with Atlantic Records. In 2006, the band parted ways with Atlantic over creative differences and signed to Ferret Music, after which they completed the rest of the album in November and December that year. Vocalist Jeffrey Moreira, guitarist Ryan Primack and drummer Chris Hornbrook were the sole constant members of Poison the Well during the recording of Versions; guitarist Jason Boyer was present for initial sessions and worked on five songs, but left prior to its completion in 2006.

Versions is a metalcore and post-hardcore album that incorporates elements from country music and a wide variety of instrumentation. Music critics praised the album's songwriting and ambition, though some felt mixed towards its experimentation. Preceded by the digital-only single "Letter Thing", released in March 2007, Versions debuted at number 147 on the US Billboard 200 chart with first week sales of 7,700 copies. Poison the Well promoted the album with headlining and supporting tours of North America and Europe, and performances on the 2007 Warped Tour.
