But seriously, vinyl hasn't lost it's mystique for me, but my deck has crapped out on me and it would be more expensive for me to replace the one I have than to buy a new one.(Still not an inconsiderable expense, by the way.) It's on my list of things to do, but still lower on my list of priorities. LINER NOTES: I'm old-school. Bitch out, and I won't respect you. With the last one, Nergal took poll position. School me, please! Beautiful... Some of my earliest memories are trying to figure out how to switch tracks on my Kaboose Kids 8-track….

Cd's pain in comparrison, everything is the size of a postage stamp. There is nothing like looking through one of your favorite albums artwork while it spins on your record player. Cds suck.

While Winds may have made most of their sales at SoundScanning Hot Topic, bands like Krisiun or Suffo make more sales in indie shops. So the 'real' number for those bands is much higher, but probably not much higher on Lacuna Coil or Iwrestled, etc. But also consider the more underground the band, the less SoundScan will matter because smaller indie stores usually don’t report.

Old school fans can bitch all they want, but it won't make a difference until they can move units, plain and simple. I'm not disagreeing with you here, but it's simply numbers.

Agreed. I've been saying that since this album came out. The only selling point is the name on front, cause the music aint that great. “If the same record were released under a name other than “Metallica,” I promise this album would not be nearly double-platinum and on the charts 49 weeks after release.”
