&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A1&nbsp; ["Trust In The Law"<br>

The vinyl of Volume 03 does not include tracks 3, 10, 11, 14, and 15. 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.

==MiscellaneaAbout==About the decision Reznor and Ross became involved by reaching out to release the score in three volumes, Reznor stated the following in an interview with ''Billboard'show's creator:[https://www.billboardvariety.com/articles2018/columns/rockmusic/8542712news/trent-reznor-interviewand-atticus-ross-oldfilm-townscores-roadnine-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 inch-nails- 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.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''.

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>
