And it's falling for the same reason as many others, too. Near constant war, an incredibly greedy aristocracy that refuses to pay its fair share or do its part, and a horribly corrupt government.

Laibach's entire "Volk" album is basically hard takes on national anthems and myths. I bought a digital copy ages ago, but I'm strongly considering getting it on vinyl.
Morituri:
Thing about vinyl.... it's better than digital, once. Maybe twice or three times. Okay, being fair, modern turntables really run the needles very very light, and if you have good modern equipment maybe even a dozen times. But once, for sure.
If you buy a vinyl record, you've spent your money on those first few plays. If you fail to capture the first play in the highest-bitrate lossless audio codec you can, then what you're doing is paying the band tribute. You're making a small but extravagant sacrifice to show your loyalty, or making some kind of statement about the fleeting impermanence of all experiences, or something artistic like that.
But if you're like me, you want it (or a very close approximation to it) to listen to again and again. My first play is always a vinyl-to-digital conversion that results in files far too big for them to ever have sold on CD. Is the recording as good as the record's first play? No. Is it better than the record's tenth, or twelfth, or twentieth play? Yes. Is it better than the CD of the same album? Absolutely blowing-away better.
