Is it questionable to buy new popular music on LP?

With the new release's being mixed like crap does it still make sense at all to purchase Vinyl for the only slightly better sound considering all that has to be done to take care of it?, add to that the long play benefit of CD's its harder and harder for me to purchase new rock on LP. My latest dispointment was "Gomez, How we operate" as I love the album but it has no benefit over the cd I also have this across the board from RadioHead to most any new album, anyone else feel this way?
It all boils down to the mix, if its crap why bother with higher priced, lower convenient Vinyl.......and I hate that I feel this way more and more.

I agree with Emailists. Magic has probably got to be the WORST modern day recording that I have on vinyl. Hollow, compressed, smeared and absolutely lifeless. Definitely targeted at the NO-FI Generation.

I too, wonder whether performers actually have the opportunity to hear the final mix. Audio enthusiasts do NOT deserve a recording of such low calibre. (sigh) AUD$39 down the crapper.
