The Attic Records is a shop located in Millvale, just immediately to the northeast of Pittsburgh. It’s a sizable record shop with most shelves that go from floor almost to the ceiling. I suspect, there are somewhere around 18 of these shelves, then a few that are at waist height. In either case, what that amounts to is thousands upon thousands of records!

Insomnium puts together some pretty wild story based albums, and Anno 1696 is the latest done in that format. In this video I review two options: the 2x LP of the album and then the art book with 2 CDs of the album. Oddly, the art book also has additional songs. The 2x LP version of the album is stunning in and of itself. As you can see in this image below of the inlay of the record with the lyrics and art pieces in the album.
