The soundtrack of the two previous games were perhaps less direct than TBOTFA here every title is linked together by alternating epic passages and cold tones. No downtime, Howard Shore offers a high fly composition, certain themes of The Desolation of Smaug are taken and modified, and it is really successful! All of this soundtrack is homogeneous, no place for the superfluous, from the first piece you are caught in the throat to the final as performed by Billy Boyd, and what a title! The clip made sad many fans with this mixture of images of the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, but we must admit that between the song melody and the voice of Billy everything was done for, this song is just beautiful . A BO absolutely have if you like the genre and even more if you like the films of Peter Jackson, for the end of this trilogy Howard Shore did not mocked people with his music he sublimated a movie that is already Dantesque. Finally, the digipack is the same as for the first two films, with a different color, this edition features two bonus tracks.
