PRODUCT DETAILS
Details: Double 180gm splatter colored vinyl LP pressing housed in gatefold jacket. Includes digital download. Ratboys have been recording and releasing music for over a decade, but their newest album, The Window, marks the first time they'd ever traveled outside their home base of Chicago to make a record, journeying to the Hall of Justice Recording Studio in Seattle to work with producer Chris Walla. The sessions with Walla (Death Cab for Cutie, Tegan and Sara, Foxing) struck the perfect balance between preparation and experimentation, injecting new life into the band's style of soft-hearted Midwestern indie rock with an ever so subtle Americana twist. The solidified Ratboys lineup stretched and expanded their vision in the studio, adding unexpected elements and instruments like rototoms, talkboxes, and fiddles. The result is Ratboys' most sonically diverse record, shifting wildly from track to track. It flexes everything from fuzzy power pop choruses on "Crossed That Line" and "It's Alive!" to a warm country twang on "Morning Zoo" to mournful folk on the titular track. After more than ten years and four studio albums, The Window finally captures Ratboys as they were always meant to be heard-expansive while still intimate, audacious while still tender-the sound of four friends operating as a single, cohesive unit.

This album was really important to me growing up, and it's amazing to have it on vinyl. This is an amazing record.
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
Arrived fast and in perfect condition!!
Package arrived 2 days early. Album arrived in great condition. I love TMM. Probably one of my favorite albums. The marbled color look looks so cool. Highly recommend.
It was great, packaging was nice and the vinyl was gorgeous. Thank you so much!!
Great quality and fast shipping
Absolute treat having this great album on vinyl
Sounds good, looks good
quick delivery! In excellent condition :) Very happy with my purchase
I ordered this vinyl and it came in, I was super excited and every other record seemed to be fine. This one however had a bend, now it was sealed and there seemed to be no other damage so my assumption is it was a distributor issue but when I contacted to just make them aware, pale blue dot sent me another. This is the type of customer service that is above and beyond and it has made me a repeat customer. I cannot say anything better about the communication involved and the shipping speed was just as fast as well. This has become my new go to.
Bought here specifically because I found TDH for a good price but the customer service made it so much better. This particular album came in perfect. Will be ordering from here again.
Absolutely stunning
Packaged nicely and shipped super quick! The album is amazing and the vinyl is a beautiful red with little black swirls throughout!

Great selection, prices and shipping speed. Superior customer service! Tristan is not only quick to respond but extremely knowledgeable.
My first order but definitely won’t be the last!
Thank you Tristan and Pale Blue Dot Records!
This vinyl was very hard to find. It’s a great album by The Used and one of my favorites. I had a couple bad experiences with other companies but glad I found Pale Blue Dot. The quality of my vinyl received was perfect. Shipping was fast. Seller was communicative. I definitely plan to purchase through them rather than dealing with the mess of going through another company in the future. 10/10 would recommend.
