For the record, I skipped ahead once. Once, instead of a song, I got a podcast, so I didn't allow that to count.
Otherwise, a pretty cool soundtrack, if you ask me. All over the place. I am particularly happy with the Opening and Closing Credits choices. Also happy to have Black Flag playing for my death scene. Wonder where that'll be, and what the circumstances will be?
