I am one man who writes (pretty poorly) about music because I love it. I study, play, produce, engineer, analyze, and obsess about music. Enjoy all the topics I can muster up to write about.
I completely agree with all of the points above. Vinyl is a completely different experience than downloads or CDs. Everything from the jackets, to the inner sleeves, to the full, uncompressed sound that resonates from them makes their format amazing!
The problem comes when bands use plants that press cheap vinyl. When plants cut from compressed digital files and not from large, high resolution files, the vinyl is just a novelty because the sound is the same as an mp3.
Hopefully as this trend continues, artists and labels will increasingly see the value of pressing quality, virgin vinyl that is cut and mastered the right way. That is how this resurgence will ultimately be more than a trend, and how we will all get to enjoy great new pressings for years to come!
