I am so bummed out right now. The music on this soundtrack is so good...but almost every single track has this awful, glitchy distortion that's absolutely not supposed to be there. How something like that can get past quality assurance before it gets pressed onto a disc is beyond me.
This is a preorder/first-print bonus, but there's one more release (a three soundtrack set) that contains this soundtrack. I'm tempted to track that down and buy it and pray that they fixed this issue for that release. I'm not sure if it's worth the gamble in case they didn't. But I would love to have clean versions of all these tracks because the composition quality is outstanding.
If anyone else owns this, you notice this distortion too, right? It's on nearly every track, but it's most obvious on quieter tracks, like ones featuring solo piano and light accompaniment. Track 10 is a good one to test. Can anyone confirm the issue?
Update: I’m happy to report the distortion issue I mentioned above is indeed fixed for this soundtrack in this 3-Soundtrack set:
