Howard Shore is still a great soundtrack composer, but he has given in this soundtrack significantly less effort. But the result is still sufficient to eg. in the car to see the movie in the mind's eye again.
"Blur" The individual title to something, say a sounds like the next - with a few exceptions. The dwarf theme I like very well and is also brought in many titles in variants that would have been even more pronounced / longer / repeatedly brought.
All in all ok, I do not regret the purchase, still good music.
