Let's face it, vinyl records are making a comeback. It's a good thing, too, since they have a higher quality sound to them, and they're not subject to the bullshit that is the "Loudness War" that is so prevalent today. There's also something special about vinyl to those that enjoy great rock, especially stoner rock and doom metal. To me, it's about the nostalgia and the exclusivity of being able to find vinyl releases of your favorite music. Of course, the higher quality sound doesn't hurt, either!
