You might want to wait, depending on how sensitive your ears are.
For me, the cracking is so bad that I am in a constant state of irritation throughout both CDs. It's the opposite of enthusiasm.
Perhaps Island will fix the problem and send us replacement CDs. Has that ever happened, though?
My suggestion is to try to listen to a friend's copy first... Or find a rip. Try before you buy. If you find a copy in the store, listen to it on the store's headphones. Don't buy over the internet unless you are sure you can get a good return policy.
