    Same question for the CD.
    CD is on its way from amazon (didn't realize they had them at reckless when i was there).

    it's three (sturdy cardstock(?)) picture sleeves in a sturdy outer slipcase. side F is blank but still has an image printed label. nothing too fancy but a vast improvement over, say, the fragile deviations.

    it also sounds pristine, just like all the recent pressings.

    bestbuy.com must have made a mistake because the cd is listed at 21.99. maybe a mix up???

    I think it was a genuine price mistake. Best buy has on occasion cancelled orders with pricing mistakes, but for the most part, they have honored the orders. (in my experience, anyway.)

    CD is a three panel (much like The Fragile or GWTDT).

    One listen in, some of it falls in with GG and GWTDT but then some of it is more aggressive and creepy sounding than most of the songs on either of those. It would be interesting for Trent and Atticus to score a horror movie.

    Early favorites: Before And After Faith, Justified Response, Other Ways To Get To The Same Place, Strangers In Lockstep, and What Comes Back.

    I will likely edit in more comments as I get more into it.

    I ordered a copy from Amoeba when they put some up. And then also Best Buy for the snafu price. Let's see which one arrives first. But both will surely be in way better shape than ordering from Sand(Shit)bag.

    it may be moot if the price doesn't return/get honored, but i believe so. a lot of online retailers had/have artists, track listings, and cover art all mixed up between the score and OST, but as more item listings became available, i started checking the UPC codes. this one, 602557769982, matches the vinyl score.

    this was a great find even if i miss(ed) it.

    Not ordering the vinyl yet, mostly because its fucking 40 bucks + shipping (the cheapest option). CD is on its way tho.

    A triple LP at 180g weight in a gatefold jacket...is a steal at $40...just saying.

    not a gatefold, it's a slipcase. which is actually much nicer and less likely to get damaged.

    but yeah, i agree. $40 is really good.

    Regarding the Best Buy listing, the UPC on it matches what is on Discogs for the 3LP set, so it is very likely that. Also, I don't think the soundtrack release is getting a vinyl pressing, just the 2CD is all I've seen. I guess we'll find out is they honor the price or not.

    this is my favorite soundtrack that has come from TR+AR. There are moments that remind me of dragon tattoo without sounding too familiar, and some songs have a year zero vibe and some that have a fragile deviations era sound. vietnam is probably the most NIN sounding score yet.

    Received my vinyl today and Amazon nails it again with the packaging. I can confirm that it comes with a download card.

    One guy in the Vinyl Collective boards posted that he received his Best Buy order and it was indeed the 3xLP. My order should be delivered tomorrow per the tracking.

    Just got through my first listen of the soundtrack - I like it a lot! To me, it's like a mash up of Ghosts/Gone Girl with a smattering of 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' in there.

    Early faves: What Comes Back / The Right Things

    Mine has shipped as well. I'm really surprised they're honoring the orders - that's a 66% discount.

    I'm guessing they still haven't noticed since, even though it is sold out, the price still remains $13.99

    I know this thread is more so for the actual score and not the actual show (couldn't find a post anywhere for that); but I love that there are "Ghosts" sprinkled throughout the show. I feel like the Ghosts fit into the show almost as much as the original score!

    Mine arrived from amazon in a ‘guaranteed easy open mailer’ last night at 10:17pm. Thought it must have been fouled up, but no, the poor driver had a tow trailer in addition to his truck.
    Ill have a listen on my way out today. Ordered both CD and LP.
    2 notices- null corporation on the sticker 06 and LP 3 feels thicker than 1 & 2.
    i wish ghosts/deviations/fragile would have come with the slip case.

    technically the third LP is thicker than the other two because none of its material has been carved out on one side.

    got my CD from amazon, nice double digipack. still feels weird that i'm so obsessed with TR&AR/NIN/HTDA that i have to buy things on CD (like, literally feel an un-ignorable need to do so).

    Strangers in Lockstep is my favorite - so far. The little bleep/glitch @ :46 is also very interesting. I envision an army of robots marching on the battlefield to this song.

    Before and After Faith is also very good, great pace, and sonically different than the other songs on this score.

    Also Torn Polaroid is very interesting, at about 3:53 this low hum starts in the back ground - very interesting sounds.

    Overall, if I were to describe this score in one word, I would say... somber. I don't think that's a bad thing, I wasn't alive during that era, and have only started to learn more about it thru the current PBS documentary. I honestly wasn't expecting the score to be this gloomy, or somber, but... the airing isn't over yet, so I'll reserve any further judgement!
