[Thor Joachim Haga]

Which is why the complaint about the second disc comes across, intentionally or not, as something else entirely: not a matter of listening, but a matter of limiting what others get to hear.

I don’t see it that way. I just see it as the very nature of a preference. My preference does not encompass pleasing other people’s preferences. A preference is by nature anti-altruistic. I’m not opposed to other people getting what they want (as I said, two different releases would solve much of the problem, were it financially feasible), but that’s not my main concern when I decide what I like or don’t like to listen to, and how I want said album to be.

Which 2CD set of THE FURY do you have? Do you want to trade against a single Varèse Sarabande CD?

This one. I forgot there was even another one after that, on LLL. I think I’m going to keep it, if only because of the superior sound on the OST, but some day, I’ll reacquire the old Varese, I think.
