Who shit in your chips? I’m sure there’s people who don’t like sleeves, posters, or books unused on walls either - but people do, y’know, like personal items on display. I understand you don’t and that’s fair enough, but simmer down a bit; it’s not like I melted them down into an anatomically incorrect Katy Perry doll.
I totally get that, and if I had the space I’d do the same. That said, I’ve done almost the same; listening to the albums loud whilst looking through the new booklets…just no spinning vinyl part. It’s always cool when the physical packaging is something more than just media, but CDs used to be just as good there too (albeit smaller I guess). I think most CDs that came out 1995-2010ish had effort put into the packaging. Hell, even DVDs like ‘And All That Could Have Been’ came with that see-through plastic message from Trent which was cool. I get that the subtle crackle of vinyl might elevate the vibe and listening experience though. …maybe one day… (if the vinyl doesn’t warp due to sunlight…)
Experiencing a new album physically is something painfully missing from the ease of just buying digital music though.
I had it on the ZX Spectrum, where it was still absolutely vicious but not all that colourful! Seven year old me never completed it, even after I got it on Amiga, but I might just give it another go on seeing this. …I can still hear the theme tune…!
Yup, shot your opinion down hard didn’t I? More like I said I understand you don’t agree, but maybe tone down your vitriol. I’m not sure how I could have been more accommodating of your opinion without, well, joining your echo chamber.
Try not to pull an emergency stop with that decoration, yeah.
Also, I didn’t create this to argue with people who do like their vinyl; I just wanted to promote some form of discussion in the new community. I’m glad you’re enjoying the discs you’ve got.
