Diskuse nad zmršeným masteringem novinky „Sideshow Symphonies“ neustávají. Od  labelu připlulo toto vysvětlení:
The band wasn't 100% satisfied with the final result. and as remixing was impossible for now, so we decided to do a new mastering. The band received a copy of our own master, and a copy of the orginal master (from Masterhuset). They were free to compare and had total freedom of choice! They had a vote and unanimously decided to use ours.
We sent it to the factory, and that's where the fuck up happened. And we didn't notice that until it was too late as all the quantities were shipped directly from the factory to our various distributors worldwide. It would probably have happened with the other master as well. It probably happened during the transfer from our master to their machines.
It's just a bug! Sadly you can't patch CDs as you can patch video games. This happened to a lot of labels, for exemple with Dark Tranquility / Century Media.
Again, as everything was shipped we could not ask for all the copies back - but we will replace the CDs as soon as we get the new stock in (I would say in December or early Jan).
In the meantime enjoy the CD - we're really proud to have released such a masterpiece - and catch the band on tour if you can
