I had long ago decided that if I'm going to listen to a movie soundtrack or musical cast recording - or read the liner notes of them - then I'm going to be spoiled for at least some of the movie/show.

Granted that's more so with cast recordings since you're getting the actual events as opposed to just mood, but the two cases you name are good examples.

Honestly, what else are they going to call the track? "Qui-Gon's Noble End" was written for that specific part of the movie to be the music for the noble death of a charcter, so that's what it was called. How else should it have been listed on the soundtrack? "Skip this track until after you've seen the movie then come back and scratch away the silver spot to learn the name and then listen to it?" Same thing for Order of the Phoenix.

I've read ...Order of the Phoenix,Ybut you're right; there is nothing wrong about not having read it. Your example is good; I saw the Lord of the Rings movies without having read the books. (Still haven't read the books. Probably never will ( ... )

"maul's revenge"?
"master vs. apprentice"?
"falling into shadow"?
"phantom triumph"?
"darkness rises"?
"the shield falls"?
"power chamber fight"?
"clash of the sabers"?
"obi-wan's despair"?
"vendetta"?
"fork in the road"?
"more powerful than you can possibly imagine"?
"tears of a jedi"?
"obi-wan's promise"?
"deliver me from jar-jar"?

just off the top of my head...

point is, there are about a *kajillion* different things to call a track, something, ANYTHING other than Main Character Dies. i mean, "joining the midichlorians" would have been an improvement.

Here from MetaQuotes to say that those were some effing BRILLIANT suggestions for substitute song titles.

"Deliver Me From Jar-Jar" is going to keep me snickering all day, thanks.

Behind the Veil was suggested on the Amazon discussion board, and is a prettier name, besides. Hell, they also could have called Trelawney's track just "trelawney".
