No, I get you
but like I said down there, I think the real problem with mp3s is the fact you're paying for something you never actually get to really interact with. This is a creative idea that encourages people to engage in the music they're buying again.
Granted it's no pull-the-record-out-the-sleeve-flip-it-around-and-hit-the-needle-to-the-groove, but it's a start :)

Yeah it's a nice idea, but doesn't say much for their views on their music IMHO.
I mean - can you imagine for example Blood Sugar Sex Magic being in any other order?

Not the best example because I don't particularly rate that album :p
But no, I absolutely get what you mean. but let's be fair here, it's the Kaiser Chiefs, a mediocre indie band in a world full of mediocre indie fans. This method works for them perfectly. But this idea opens up a wealth of other possibilities for other bands who might have to accept that mp3s are the done thing now but still want to do something cool for their fans. Which is ace, really.
Meanwhile I hope vinyl never dies for old-fashioned types like you and I. I likes 'em round, black and covered in ridges.
