Discover The Warped Vinyl Slant

Welcome to The Warped Vinyl Slant. We give you our honest opinion and what we like to believe is a fair assessment of quality of music pressed on vinyl.  We evaluate vinyl record pressings of all types, be they a newly minted release from one of today's popular artists or a reissue of a record from a time that felt a little easier and a little more together. We try to make each review concise, filling it with a little engaging content that will hopefully peak your interest and ignite a fire for vinyl. Explore the site and all that we have to offer; perhaps The Warped Vinyl Slant will take you down roads once traveled or bring you to places awaiting discovery.  

We will do our best to guide you on your journey to find the best vinyl has to offer and avoid undesirable surprises. To that point, we purchase every record we review. We do not allow ourselves to be biased by the recording industry. Therefore, we do not accept promo copies. We also listen on a high fidelity or audiophile system that we purchased. The system is designed to allow the full breadth of the pressing to shine through. This is important because the system will not only reveal mastering imperfections and expose pressing limitations. We believe that our evaluation system offers exactly what you desire, an unbiased and objective evaluation of vinyl records that you may have interest in. This allows us to give you our honest and transparent opinion.
