1.0 out of 5 stars LOTR meets New Age, October 1, 2005

I wish I had read the other reviews before buying. 78 minutes of meandering through (and maiming) Howard Shore's fantastic work. No focus, no edge to the playing, themes apparently put together at random. The horns are poorly synthesized and sound pretty cheezy. Spend your money on the movie soundtrack. I wish I had.

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely worthless compilation, September 19, 2005

With the exception of a fleeting melody here and there, this one-disc compilation consists of incidental music(at best) to the Trilogy. Virtually none of the familiar themes and orchcestrations are included, and this disc is best sued as background music for some other activity. It does not hold its own in terms of its muscial quality - or interest.

1.0 out of 5 stars This was a major disappointment, June 20, 2006

Too bad I can't give this one no stars. This disk is really bad. The performance is by a bland synthesizer "orchestra" without any of the depth or emotion you can find on the movie soundtracks. I would sell this CD back to the music store where I bought it, but then somebody else might be tempted to buy it. No; this disk is headed for the trash bin.
