Regardless of the opening, this is one of those JW pieces that you can listen to thousands of times without ever getting tired of it...

We have an extremely polarized electorate!
I suspect there's fraud involved here...

I thought so too... But only at first. That's probably because we're so used to it.
-
So everybody that's ordered their copy, already received it?
No more damaged goods?

Darn! This is like a freaking lottery!
You place your order, and only the few lucky ones get a flawless copy... The rest, so sorry, maybe next time.
What the hell!

The same issue others have had with the last few tracks of disc 1. Intrada sent a replacement disc out within days of me reporting the fault. Glad most copies appear to be okay.
Sorry to hear that.
Then there seems to be a defective batch indeed! I wonder how this can happen... With these specialty labels, it seems to happen rather often!

yes. c.d. 1 skips on the last tracks. As I elaborated before
Why always you? Weird.
I never had problems with any of my JW CDs that I got through the mail. The worst things to happen to me were broken cases, broken teeth, and missing (artwork) teeth...
I had only one experience with a brand new but flawed CD, which I couldn't correctly rip no matter how many times I tried. But that was a language learning CD, not a music CD.

Well, this may still be (slightly) defective. Unless there was a smudge on it and you wiped it off?

Yeah, if it's still available then.

Maybe Luke Skywalker is sitting at Intrada, sending out the CDs...

I heard they deliberately scratched up Josh's copy before sealing it.
And somebody deliberately put a hole in the condom your dad used...
-
Obviously this poll is only for people who have already received their copy!
Let's find out how widespread this problem really is.
Update: Just ripped my copy and listened to the last 10 tracks. No problem with my copy, no scratches whatsoever.
-
I got it! Here's to hoping my copy is fine. See you on the other side!

Not sure if this is scarier than missing teeth...
This is definitely scarier! This can potentially affect the music itself...
Who cares about (artwork of) teeth? 😂
-
So I haven't read the last couple of pages...
How many have gotten the album and how many scratches we got so far?

Difficult. I'm terrible at tracks in general, but even moreso in a case like WOTW which is such a coherent, singular piece. It's more a set, dystopian mood that ebbs and flows throughout its running time. The whole OST is really like one long track. But I guess if I had to choose, it would be "The Intersection Scene" which is mentioned by several others already.
Yeah, but to make a little easier to choose, I asked for 3 favourite cues or tracks...
-
Wow, can't wait to get this release!
It just occurred to me, "Driving Away from Trouble" sounds kinda underwhelming. Earth is being attacked and enslaved by giant alien machines, and I'm just driving away from this pesky little trouble... 😂
-
I don't have the Intrada release yet, so mine are from the OST album...
1. "Escape from the City"
2. "The Ferry Scene"
3. "Escape from the Basket" (the last part, especially!)
Adore the action cues, rather than the quieter, more subdued pieces.
-
Sometimes it seems to rip fine, but on close listens, you can sometimes hear faint crackles.... Happened to me once.
Don't want to worry people, but just saying!
-
That's annoying and disappointing. Hopefully mine will be fine...
Anybody else here had this problem?
-
Ah the infamous "No Teeth" affair...
That'll be one for the books!
-
I'm guessing it's in the range of 2000 - 3500.
I don't think it's more than that...

It is though, Intrada just doesn't tell us those numbers. They stopped doing that a decade ago
Oh. Better get it sooner than later, then!

Yes that photo is great, Josh. It’s lifted from the end of the Blu-ray/DVD music feature which I would encourage you all to watch.
Yes, you're exactly right! As a matter of fact, I was watching that featurette yesterday, and made a screenshot of that moment myself....
Love this, by the way. John Williams conducting "Escape from the City"... Just wow. Here it is:
32 minutes ago, Jay said:This *IS* a limited edition.
Well, it's not limited to a certain set number of copies is what I meant.
-
It's a good thing this isn't a limited edition. That way we can be more relaxed about getting it...
