Changes

Reznor and Ross became involved by reaching out to the show's creator:[https://variety.com/2018/music/news/trent-reznor-and-atticus-ross-film-scores-nine-inch-nails-1203012287/]
<blockquote>"We reached out to Damon and the HBO camp when I first heard about it, because I’ve been a fan of Damon since ''Lost''. I was completely blown away by ''The Leftovers''. Also, as a big fan of ''Watchmen'' [in other incarnations], I appreciated the fearlessness that taking on that property and that IP would require. I thought, if anybody was to do it at any place, HBO and Damon sounds exciting to me. I’ve never done TV, but needless to say, it’s been a great several years for television, and long-form storytelling is exciting. So I told our agent, “Hey, let him know that we’d be definitely interested in working on that.” The next thing I know, we’re in a meeting with Damon, and we were all-in."</blockquote>
The nin.com statement about the release reads:
<blockquote>"Three unique LPs specifically timed to be released throughout the first season of HBO's ''Watchmen''. Created in collaboration with the show's writers, each LP features the score from Academy Award winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross as well as artwork and packaging exclusive to this vinyl release that explores the culture of Watchmen America and provides revealing insights into the saga's mythology and mysteries."</blockquote>
About the decision to release the score in three volumes, Reznor stated the following:[https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8542712/trent-reznor-interview-old-town-road-watchmen]
<blockquote>"Well, we had quite a bit of music. And we decided to do something fun with the way it’s released. I think that putting out an hour and a half of music today is like throwing it out the window -- it’s asking too much of a kind of short attention span audience that we’ve all become. So breaking it up into chunks felt like something we wanted to do.
And I don’t mean to be too cheeky about it, but I think that when the first record comes out, it’ll make more sense why we split it up into three pieces. It’s just something that feels very Watchmen to us. It’s fun, and a cool way to get music out and be part of the story. I don’t mean to be oblique here, but it’ll make more sense when you hear it."</blockquote>
Reznor and Ross also created the theme for the end credits of the show, which is a mashup of three tracks from Volume 01: "Nun With A Motherf*&*ing Gun", "Never Surrender", and "Owl Hunts Rat". An extended version of this composition was posted to the official [[Nine Inch Nails]] YouTube channel.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQBmALfSFEU]
