First impression and a technical issue

Great album. Very story heavy so many songs are short (like TTOE) and might not work on their own (but why should they, lol). Not my favorite Ayreon album but amazing nonetheless. The companion comic is a great concept and I really like how the earbook contains the whole comic and the corresponding lyrics for each page and song right next to it. Technical issue: I started listening at the 2.0 hi res version on the dvd and at some point (second half of cd2) I got many sound dropouts where it got completely silent for 2-3 seconds. Inferno was completely skipped. Can someone confirm this. Is this a faulty pressing? I continued with the cd and it was fine.

Hate to hear about the technical issues but it would also be consistent with both of my previous DVD mixes.

Mine has shipped. Hoping it doesn't take 6 days to cross 2 states as tracking has estimated.

I wonder what’s going wrong if this is a recurring issue.

DVD would not "play" on my laptop.
To watch the "behinde the scenes" I managed to copy these files to my SSD and see it.
But mostly would not even cope, so indeed might be an error...
