It’s like someone put a hand grenade in a clip-art library.

On the albums sleeve you can turn an inner, circular paper to change the imagery on the front. It’s pretty neat.

Are you one of those vinyl people?

Are you anti-vinyl? Vinyl is great; deal with it.

I don’t really like the culture of vinyl people. Especially the people who say it sounds better than CD.

The “culture” of vinyl people? And in what way does it not sound better than CD?

I’m not going to vouch for the inherent quality of either medium, but an album that was originally released on vinyl almost always sounds better on vinyl, because CD re-releases are commonly remixed or remastered, and this usually ends up changing the songs for the negative.
(example: the remixed version of Leftoverture by Kansas contains too much reverb)

Usually the early reissues of CDs were remastered for the worse, but today the CDs are usually properly mastered for the digital format. ZZ Top was never able to get this right until 2013 when their CDs were finally released properly, and are pretty satisfying.

I don’t know what he’s getting at with the CD thing, but I’ll admit that some of the extreme audiophile crowd can be very pretentious and rude to people just trying to ask simple questions. I usually avoid that type but I wouldn’t call it the “culture of vinyl people”. I don’t think that’s what he’s referring to though so I have no clue what he’s talking about.
