Not the original music, July 13, 2005
This review is from: The Lord of the Rings (Box Set) (Audio CD)
I was expecting this to be the music from the movies - it isn't. It is nicely done, but if you're expecting the same style and sound as from the movies, look elsewhere (this sounds more MIDI than orchestra).

Beware! This is NOT the official soundtrack!, July 11, 2006
This review is from: The Lord of the Rings (Box Set) (Audio CD)
I played my official soundtrack CDs to death so I was looking for a replacement. This is not the real thing. A lot of the tracks aren't even on these, and the order on the rest of them is all mixed up. Bad quality sound, without the energy and passion of the original -- sounds like elevator music. There are even misspellings throughout the playlists. It is not readily obvious to the buyer that it isn't what you think it is, until it arrives.
The Fellowship volume won't play on one of my hard drives at all; it plays, but fuzzily, on my laptop. I gave up before trying it in the CD player in my vehicle.

This ring is fool's gold, April 11, 2008
This review is from: The Lord of the Rings (Box Set) (Audio CD)
Simply put, this ain't the real deal. This is NOT Howard Shore and this is NOT his music. This is some less than mediocre fluff presented to us by some ensemble called the "Hollywood Studio Orchestra" and as you might expect from anything Hollywood, it's not worthy of sticking to the bottom of your shoe.
Save your money for the original movie soundtracks (get 'em all) and enjoy the genius that is Howard Shore. He is a modern day Handel. And the "Lord of the Rings" is his "Messiah."
