Versions is Poison the Well's fourth studio album.

It was released on April 2, 2007 in Europe and April 3,


2007 World Wide via Ferret Music. Versions is the first release for Poison the Well on Ferret Music and is
also the band's first release since 2003's You Come Before You.

The trio of Ryan Primack (guitar), Chris Hornbrook (drums) and Jeffrey Moreira (vocals) wrote the album
over the past few years. Primack describes the material as having many more colors and nuances than
previous work. "The songs are pretty open-ended and there's a lot of unique instrumentation in the
background throughout such as mandolins, slide guitar, horns and banjo," he says.[citation needed]

Primack, who plays all of the more unusual instruments on the disc, adds, "This is not out of the blue.
We actually started to add these elements to the last album but we didn't have time to flesh them out
like with 'Versions'. It's going to be a really different sounding album in hardcore. Well, as different as
you can be in hardcore nowadays."[citation needed]

To coincide with a string of headlining dates, and in support of Versions, Poison the Well released the
album's opening track "Letter Thing" as a digital-only single on March 13. The single is available via
iTunes and all other download platforms. A video has also been released for "Letter Thing", directed by
Roboshobo (The Blood Brothers, Mates of State). The video features stop motion animation figures
which speak in subtitled Norse runes throughout the video, saying the following: "The hour grows near;
The weak flesh shall be tempered by fire; Face what is yours; With this ring, I thee wed"
