User Reviews of The Sound Garden

Yelp.com Review - by Michael B.

5.0 of 5 stars. The Mecca, maybe the best record store on the east coast. The place oozes coolness but everyone working there is ultra friendly. You will lost 2 hours of your life in this place. Amazing!

4.0 of 5 stars. Awesome indie-hipster hangout/music trading store. Brings me back to the days of high school swaping used CDs and finding hidden music gems amongst the rows and rows of CDs. DVDs are available here...

Yelp.com Review - by Josh F.

5.0 of 5 stars. The best in Baltimore. Far superior to anything Washington, D.C. has to offer either. Good sized used section, stock recycles well, carries obscure titles, and wins hands down on staff snarkiness.
