Does your Xpectation have a skip?

I downloaded the Expectation album a long time ago. When i listened back to it there was a skip in track 5 (Xotica). It was a very slight blip, but it annoyed me for a long time. So i downloaded the album again just a couple of months ago, but this time from a different source, but, same skip, same track, same place.

I called a friend who i knew had the Sabotage release (pressed disc) of this album, and her track 5 skips too, at the same point in the track.

Is this just a Sabotage blip, or does anyone have the skip from the NPGMC download? I'm thinking it may have been a download error or something? confused

Thanks.

There was a skip on the initial download (mine had a skip too). Not sure where I got the updated version, but there is a version somewhere out there that doesn't skip.

vitriol

The lame technicians at NPGMC first put up a damaged file for download. That was later corrected thus the flawless file is doing the rounds.

After that, the lame technicians at Sabotage and their UTTER RESPECT for the fans didn't bother tracking down the correct file and they pressed it with the flawed 'Xotika'.
