    Great little record shop. Very nice selection of records. Fair prices on the ones I have purchased. The have a cool room full of pinball machines for the arcade lovers. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

    I can appreciate this place and it's arcades as well as records. My husband never a leaves this place with less than 5 albums per visit and now that we've discovered the room full of free arcades, it's hard to get Dr Ward out of here. The arcade room has 10 unlimited arcade usage as long as your purchase merchandise but if you choose not to, all you need to pay is $5 per person for unlimited usage. It's cheap old school fun.

    Only a portion of their selection

    Pretty good $1 record section. Tons to dig through. They have a small pay to play arcade. Not bad since it has Godzilla

    Small selection and subpar quality for the few items I found on my extensive wish list.

    The selection was sub standard compared to others in the area. The staff was found to be unknowledgeable and incredible arrogant and rude.

    Reverberation is an unusual record store. I've never seen so many records in one place from…read moreartists/bands I don't recognize, but at the same time, I've spotted some very obscure stuff in the experimental and jazz sections, so I wonder if they cater to people with a taste for lesser known music. At least for the styles I shop for (jazz, experimental, electronic), this store is full of strange, unknown things. I like how they have a special section for deluxe horror movie soundtracks (think Waxwork Records, Mondo, and the like). I also appreciate how you never know what kind of weird thing you'll find there (like an old DJ Krush Mo Wax 10" for a reasonable price). My main complaint is the difficulty of browsing. First, the record bins in the main area are so high that you need a stool to see the furthest back albums unless you're decently over 6' tall. The store has stools sitting around for just this purpose. Second, the bins are completely packed, so there's no flipping through records. You have to grab a chunk, set them aside, and then you can brows. It makes digging a real pain and is one of the reasons Reverberations isn't in my regular rotation. Some have written about the owner being rude. I didn't find him rude, but yeah, he doesn't usually say hello or goodbye or look you in the eye when you check out. Definitely not the gregarious type you find at a place like Exile in Champaign, but I never got a rude vibe. Maybe he's more effusive and warm if you're a regular. If browsing wasn't such a pain, I'd give it four stars. Any record shop that continues to exist is a good thing. Certainly worth checking out if you're in the area.

    I don't live anywhere near Reverberation, but I've had the pleasure of digging here 2x in the past…read moreyear, and this is a great record store. Friendly owner, ample parking, and an incredible array of new and used records. Items are priced to move not gouge the customers, and conditions are exact. And what's crazy is the depth of the inventory. Really, this store is stacked. Local collectors are lucky to have Reverberation as one of their brick and mortars. Highly recommend!
