The entire point of loudenation on a CD is to make it as loud or louder than other digital files.

Records don't work that way. At all.

On a record you can do things like shortening the playing time to cut a louder groove. My MGMT album that was crammed onto a single record is quiet as balls compared to various albums I own that were split on to two records.

So you have these modern mastering techniques that are developed and based on a medium with a hard level ceiling. The techniques are only good for creeping up to that ceiling and harm the sound otherwise. Then you're going to take that master and stick it on to a format that doesn't even have a hard ceiling to creep up to.

In a purely "it can work" sort of way, yeah...it can work. But in a logical way it doesn't make a lick a' sense. And it certainly won't sound its best.
