Good for collectors.......2007-07-08

This is not Howard Shore and no-one should think it is, however I found it a nice addition to my LOTR music collection. I have all the Shore music and it is outstanding - this is interesting, nowhere near as good, but very nice nonetheless. I especially like the soprano Charlotte Kinder on this CD and I would recommend it just for her contribution in some ways I prefer her to Renee Fleming, but that is of course a subjective statement. The other female singer is ok, but nothing special compared to the originals.

Pretty Good.......2007-03-30

I had real high hopes for the soundtrack cause the movies ROCKED!!! This was a disappointment cause the vocal version of "Into the West" "sucked" cause the lady sounded like she lost her voice an faded in an out. They should have gotten Enya to do the vocals or AT LEAST the Into the West cause the ldy that sung it made the volume "suck" when I thought it would have a BIG finish but instead it had a BIG disappiontment!!!

Buyer beware.......2006-09-01

Just be sure to read up on this closely... it's not the orchestra you hear in the movie, and you may be especially disappointed when you hear the vocal tracts - gone are great talents Enya and Annie Lennox, replaced by no-name voices. This is not BAD music, but don't think you're a genius for capturing the music of the movies on one inexpensive 2-CD set.

Worth It.......2006-03-30

Howard Shore's scores to the three Lord of the Rings movies are a classical masterpiece in their own right, and as such I don't mind hearing them played by a different orchestra. While I prefer the originals on the whole, this set has some very nice things to recommend it. The best part is that you get instrumental renditions of the end credits song from each film. My favorite is "Into the West," from The Return of the King, with a cello replacing Annie Lennox's vocal performance. I really disliked Lennox's ugly, popified performance of the song, but I thought that the melody and orchestration were gorgeous, so I could not be more delighted to hear the song performed by a cello, with all original orchestration intact. That one track is worth $20 to me.

This Collection Captures the Lord of the Rings Aura.......2006-01-27

From the song titled "Concerning the Hobbits" which is lighthearted and cheerful, to "The Bridge of Khazad Dum" with it's intense shadowy drums and chants this collection of The Lord of the Rings trilogy's music ensues the essence of all three movies. My favorites are included along with some new added bonus favorites now. "May It Be," "Into the West," and "The Riders of Rohan." The vocals are absolutely beautiful in some of the songs with soothing women's voices that just glide along as if riding the wind of white cottony cloud. The only down side to the CD's that I found dissapointing was that the last three songs, not being sung by the original artists, don't quite rest as well with the soul as the original's, yet are still very beautifully executed. I have listened to them over and over again even as they are different artists. I highly recomend this soundtrack compelation to anyone who enjoy's the Lord of The Rings Movie's Music.

Customer Reviews:

Really, really, REALLY BAD!.......2006-11-22

Bought and returned it with the first few minutes after sliding it into the player. The cover art is nice. As for the, um, muzak, I expected something less...fuzzy. Even the player hated it, spitting it out within seconds after tasting the first track.
If any of the original movie scores rate 5 stars, this rates a solid 10 black holes, IMHO.

Deceptive Title & Trade Dress.......2006-07-27

The title line of this product says Enya (Composer), Roma Enya / Ryan (Composer), Annie / Walsh, Fran / Shore, Howard Lennox (Composer), Howard Shore (Composer), Fran Shore Howard / Walsh (Composer). Had I read the descriptions more closely, I would have seen that the composers were listed in a way that made no sense. Rather, the list merely is composed of the names of the writers, musicians, and composers of the music in Peter Jackson's trilogy, so that someone who is familiar with the music of the trilogy would be deceived into buying this subpar and inadequate product. The trade dress is deceptive enough that it might border on trademark/trade dress infringment of the real stuff.
If you are a fan of the LOTR soundtracks and/or Howard Shore, I would avoid this product and opt for: 1) the official soundtracks of the trilogy; and 2) The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring The Complete Recordings. Let's hope they follow up with the Two Towers and the Return of the King Complete Recordings.

This was a major disappointment.......2006-06-21

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.

Not worth your money.......2006-05-14

Simply put, this album corrupts Howard Shore's music in the same way the ring tried to corrupt Frodo. The more you listen to it, the more you realize you should have bought the original soundtrack.

LOTR meets New Age.......2005-10-01

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.

Not actualy Lord of the Rings soundtrack.......2006-05-24

There should be a lawsuit against the makers of this cd for charging $[...] for "Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings Trilogy". In reality it sounds like a 13 year old made it in his basement with an old mixing board and an i-mac. The songs don't even resemble the real music. Please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for great Tolkien music.

No star review.......2006-05-10

I got tricked too. I was all excited about getting all three and didn't really check into it before I bought. Buyer beware. Wish I had read the reviews! At least it was only 16.00 that I paid.

NO NO NO!!!.......2006-01-09

So, I actually bought this at the local Wal-Mart b/c I wanted the Fellowship of the Rings soundtrack (The first CD) They didnt have it in stock, so I saw this 3 cd set and i was like...O wow! Only 24.98??? Umm...let's see...Im getting this one. So I bought it and was really excited that i got such a good deal...well needless to say i didnt. I listened to them when i got home and from the first song i realized that i had made a big mistake. The overall sound is extremely cheesy b/c of the synthesized recordings. It almost seems to be making fun of the beautiful originals by Howard Shore. They have taken out all of Enya's works and some of the most powerful songs. Concerning Hobbits sounded so horrible that a friend and I would just turn it on to get a good laugh.

On the second disk, Evenstar, (My favorite song in the movie) , was surprisingly well done in the beginning vocals. Then, when the "orchestra" comes in the song is completely trashed of anything good it had. All of the other songs on the disc are terrible and you shouldnt waste your time.

The third disc was equally horrible. It opens with Into the West which is sung by a girl who needs to take some singing lessons and is definitely not Annie Lennox. The song also appears twice on the disc for some reason. The rest of the CD is equally cheesy and poorly done.

Overall, if you are a fan of beautifully performed music and powerful orchestrations, stick with the originals. Do not be fooled with this knockoff.

Accept no substitutes..........2005-09-13

Okay, I got this as a gift. The giver thought it was cool to get me this all-in-one set (I had asked for all three movie soundtracks) and didn't realize that it wasn't actually the score from the movies. I gave it a listen and was pretty disappointed. I'm not really a synth fan and while there are some songs that sound pretty good, I much prefer the "real" thing. The biggest disappointments were on the Return of the Kings portion. Into the West is on there twice and is sung by someone who is definitely NOT Annie Lennox. I am a big Annie fan and I really love this song so hearing someone else sing it (not that they were bad) just really set my teeth on edge. And another one of my favorites from Return of the King, Steward of Gondor, when Billy Boyd sings. That of course isn't even on this disk.
If you were affected by the music and score of the movies and want to listen to the music on its own, buy the real soundtracks. This version just doesn't do it for me.

Good Music Synthesis.......2004-07-29

I was hoping that, since I already had the soundtracks, this cd would be different; and it was. All of this music was rewritten for a music synth. I liked hearing the computerized version of this music. But if you do not want this as a supplement to what you already have, just know that it really is the same music, just performed by computers. On some tracks it is hard to tell the difference, but on others it is obvious that the music is synthesized. Also, before you buy, read the track lists. There are a couple songs that MASK did not perform on this album.

Lord of the Rings .......2007-05-13

Yeah, the music is very good, no doubt about that. I expected the vocals, especially because I wanted the original of Into the West by Annie Lennox, so that was a huge disappointment, but the CD is very good if you are happy with an instrumental version
