Love track twelve (when they enter Moria, and pan out to see the great hall). Has a majestic but somber tone to it. It kinda really makes you hate to see something that was once so grand abandoned.<hr></blockquote>

Agreed! That was an awesome track. Noble, and yet sad.
My favourite is track 2: Concerning Hobbits. Its got this.. very likeable tune to it.

Well, I've seen the film. The music made more sense, but I think it could have been more 'catchey'. The whole CD is sad and down. Sad and down's ok when there's something else to up-lift you, but there isn't.
Don't get me wrong, the music was great - just too depressing to listen to for too long.

One problem of the Soundtrack is just that - it is the soundtrack. The music is straight as it was played in the Movie. Compare this to, for example, Star Wars: Episode 1, where the soundtrack album is the pieces of music used in the film - but in the film itself the music is chopped up as the action shifts from place to place. You have to see the film to appreciate the LotR soundtrack, methinks.
Plus, of course, Howard Shore just loves to have those repeating themes in his work. Altogether now - Dah DAAAH dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dahhhhh!
