What's with this vinyl

[Hawkeye]

There's been a Lot of 24KG (side note I believe I'm the first one to write that abbreviation and I personally love the way it looks!) discussion devoted to it being released on vinyl. Sorcerer999 even goes as far to say he might be equally to more excited over the vinyl aspect then even the fact were getting an album. That comment actually sparked the idea to make this thread.

Now are there actual tangible reasons as to why I should consider buying a vinyl copy. My dad has a player so I'd have to go there to listen. He also has quite a few records, so another option is I could buy my own player. But is there any real advantages with sound quality with vinyl beyond nostalgic "hey his brings me back to howitzer use to listen to music"


Not trying to mock anyone. Just wondering if there's some real tangible advantages to vinyl beyond like I said nostalgia or some novelty.
