It does, however, include a track not on the digital release, "Let Him Ride". Trent Reznor explained this with the following on [[nin.com]]: "You will notice there are a few tracks on the digital release that are not included on the vinyl. The simple truth of the matter is vinyl has a long lead time to manufacture and we weren't completely finished scoring the later episodes when the deadline came (and… Damon kept throwing things at us last minute!)." Those who had ordered the vinyl through nin.com were given the ability to download the digital-only tracks. ==About==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]

==Vinyl presentation==

The vinyl versions of each volume are referential to in-world content from the series, and each one is detailed with a faux ~~tracklisting~~ artwork, artists, tracklistings, and credits. The music actually contained on them is the same as above. '''Volume 03 does not contain any NIN songs, only references.''' There are references to ''Twin Peaks''/[[David Lynch]], [[David Bowie]], and [[Coil]] in the artwork. ''Twin Peaks'' and Lynch are referenced with "The Nine Inch Nails" (mentioned in/on all three volumes), which is the name given to NIN when they appeared on ''Twin Peaks: The Return'', "Owl Cave Music" (in the faux creditsof Volume 02), and "Crazy Klown Time". Bowie is referenced with "We Can Be Heroes" (title of side one of Volume 02), "Plastic Soul", and the instrumental cover of "Life On Mars?" that appears on the factual, digital version of Volume 03. Coil is referenced with "Last One Out Turn Off The Lights" which is a message etched in the deadwax on the vinyl version of the Coil album ''Musick To Play In The Dark Vol. 2''. The entire presentation of Volume 03 also lays out an alternate history for NIN, including the following fictional details: ''The Manhattan Project'' was recorded in 2001, with Danny Hyde of Coil assisting in production and mixing; Trent Reznor had gone missing or into seclusion after storming offstage in Saigon on April 28, 1995; [[Peter Murphy]] and [[Peter Christopherson]] were members, along with Atticus Ross.
