The first track and the seventh track just cut violently, is it a physical damage ?

I don't mind anyway, all the songs are complete, but just if the rough cut at the end of these 2 tracks are not intentional, It's kind of damn irritating

IMPORTANT!!!

As some of you have noticed, some copies of the new album feature the added annoyance of track 1 and 11 ending a couple of seconds too early. We (and Century media too, for that matter) are as frustrated and annoyed by this as those of you who've been unfortunate enough to buy one of the faulty copies.

Century media offer to replace damaged albums - more info in their official statement below:

Regretfully we discovered and must announce that a number of the new Dark Tranquillity CD, "Damage Done", were discovered to be contain a minor defect on the audio portion of the discs. If you happened to receive a defective disc, please send an e-mail to the following address: service@centurymedia.de
You will get a return mail containing further details.
 
Anyway I think the problem is that ALL TRACKS ENDS 2 SECONDS EARLIER, that's the problem, and 1 and 11 are the tracks on which it is more EVIDENT since it ends fastly, tracks with fade outs do not show the problem clearly, but THERE ARE 2 SECONDS MISSING, that's the problem, a guy put 2 seconds mute programmed before each songs and these 2 seconds was taking off the preceeding track
 
Monochromatic Stains also ends a few seconds before it should (I know since I've heard the sample mp3) but it's not very noticable since it's just the drum echo being cut. As for the other songs, I don't think they end before their time.

I reccomend sending your DD back the Century Media, you get 5 euro's with which to buy stuff from their online shop, and a DD poster.
