100% replace those with poly. I do keep the paper ones stored away for when I sell records, and replace my good poly sleeves with the paper to ship. The paper can shed and get in the grooves, especially the cheap stuff. The poly sleeves also help reduce static, which reduces dust sticking.

Vinyl is awesome yeah

a couple of summers ago we spent our family vacation in San Antonio, and on a whim, I decided to play some Willie Nelson, and it happened to be that album. It's a good one for sure.

ohhh i want that one

how does it sound?

like Blur

It sounds slick yet compelling.

sounds sorta like the Gorillaz but with less hippity hop

I kinda answered my own question about the latest Blur sounding a bit like current Arctic Monkeys.
Turns out the producer is James Ford, which I guess is where the whole "The Car" vibes come from.

funny you say that, when i was listening to the new Blur my initial take was, "this sounds like what the Arctic Monkeys were trying to achieve"

The Car is boring as fuck compared to The Ballad of Darren. This style comes a lot more naturally to Ablarn and Coxon than Turner. The latter should've stuck to up-beat garage rock songs about being a horny chav.

Yeah, kinda.
Albarn's vocals right now are in top form.

Yeah that Arctic Monkeys album was an exercise in masochism to try and finish it.
