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."
