Even though vinyl seems to be outselling other hard copy formats, there seems to be less of an emphasis on sound quality, care, and the mastering process. If it's loud, if it booms, if it sounds good in the car, then they'll press up whatever they want. The bad thing about it is that a lot of labels (both majors and indies) are releasing them on 180g or 200g audiophile vinyl, and with the prices for them, buyers are getting royally screwed. Just because something is pressed on thicker vinyl doesn't mean the quality has or will improve. We've gone back to the mid to late 80's when people were wondering why old music from the 50's and 60's didn't sound like 1982 Hall & Oates or Wang Chung. That's not how it works.
