- Milla WilliamsAugust 30, 2018Are you looking for vinyl, tees & turntables in a old school record store with a music lover's vibe? If so, you must go! They offer a diverse selection of new & used records, CDs, cassettes and more.
SuprachibbySeptember 30, 2014Best selection of CDs, vinyl, culture magazines, comics, vinyl collectable toys, and unique books. The staff is always really helpful and friendly. I buy my Slingshot planner/organizer every year.
DanSeptember 1, 2017Such a rad comic store and record shop. They have some wonderful discounts not trade paper backs which was nice to see. Also in a really cool neighborhood.
Intown Expert, Jennifer Kjellgren & AssociatesFebruary 7, 2013The record store - a dying breed - particularly in Atlanta. These guys know, appreciate and support music, especially local. And so should you!
- DailyCandyMay 14, 2013Floppy-haired bassists, bookish local scribes, and comic enthusiasts come together at this rockin’ record shop, where listening parties, author readings, and graphic novel debuts are de rigeur.
This is my all time favourite music store. Eric and his staff are VERY knowledgeable. If you do not find what you are looking for just ask - they will order it! I heart Criminal Records! Read more
Matt SmithMarch 5, 2016Look through Brian Poust and Kurt Wood bins. They have great 45s for you to find. And you're supporting really nice people too.
SEGAJanuary 4, 2012This store has more than just a great selection of records - they have comics and toys as well! The staff if always happy to make special orders. - Kate, Assistant Community Manager
Ghostly International ManagerSeptember 20, 2011One of the finest record stores in the country, complete with a vast selection of Vinyl, CD's, and yes, even action figures. The in-store help are like personal shoppers for music.
Joe Moose DembySeptember 12, 2010Absolutely fabulous vinyl selection. Super friendly helpful staff. Everything from folk to hip-hop, budget to rarities. So glad to find this gem in little 5 points.
MikeOctober 10, 2014Cool record store. Everything seems reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and helpful.
- Tristan RhodesideMarch 21, 2017Vintage and new vinyl with a large selection of CDs and graphic novels
- Decibel MagazineDecember 10, 2010The one and only store in Atlanta that has a "Metal" selection. You can find new metal CD's at this store, as well as rare vinyls, toys, and occasionally bands play right in the store.
. Excellent Staff and always surprises in each bin . every week I find something that I have never seen... ------v- Universal Music GroupMay 26, 2011Atlanta’s indie superstore, Criminal Records satisfies all your rock needs as well as international magazines, toys and comics. It’s a collector’s dream. - Calvin, ATL Marketing Rep
Easily the greatest place on earth. Buy some vinyl, check their twitter for amazing in-stores, breathe in the greatness. Then come back everyday.
Carlos CabreraApril 30, 2016Largest vinyl selection I've seen in a store. Almost the whole RSD16 catalog still available.
Ali TroncosoJanuary 5, 2013Toys and comics here I've never seen anywhere else. One I wish I got: Edward Scissorhands, POP! Funko design.
Great vinyl selection! Check out the discount rack in the back for sweet deals.

4sqLoveStoryMarch 2, 2011(8/28/10) Dwayne introduced Elaine to one of his half-brothers; one of the bands he plays in (G.G. King) were playing on stage... yes, right inside of the record shop... Rock on!
Andy SApril 7, 2013The 50% discount check-in special is totally false. Went to check out with valid purchases and was told they wouldn't honor it during weekends. Only thing criminal here are the prices.
The used new arrivals are usually worth a look, and the new vinyl selection is the best in the city
Jackie MontaltoApril 21, 2012Come on any other day but today! Wow great experience but too long a wait. Yeah I'm getting old!
Check the used graphic novels shelf for quality treasures at $5 or $10.
Devika KumarJune 11, 2011Vinyl blah blah. This place has one of the best candy selections in Atlanta.
Gina KruzicAugust 30, 2011This store hits the mark. Puts most NYC shops to shame. This is coming from a native NYer
Timmy/ Obi/August 25, 2012"Yeah... this isn't a library. Since you aren't buying music, please leave."- Knowledgeable staff and a great selection of magazines, comics, toys, with new and used CDs, vinyl albums and DVDs.
