"Dude, the music..." - Truer words were never spoken.
-
In the DVD Appendices, Howard Shore essentially says he was making a grand opera rather than scoring three films. Shore and Jackson went to much greater lengths than most filmakers.
-
Howard Shore's music never hits too late nor too early, but precisely when he means to.
-
My favourite music from the trilogy is either the bit where they reach "the great realm and Dwarf city of Dwarrowdelf" and you get that great soaring theme that's never repeated again, or the end of Two Towers where the picture rises up above the mountains to show Mordor and Gollum's Theme starts playing in the end credits. Wonderful music.

Lord of the Rings has some of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in media, plain and simple. It's the kind of music that brings all those amazing feelings back the moment you hear it. All the happiness and sadness, all the intensity of battle, and all the relief when it's finally won. Everything, every track from the Shire to Moria, from Rivendell to Helm's Deep, from Edoras to Mordor, it's all just perfect.
-
The best soudtrack ever. Nothing comes close.

There’s a channel on YouTube called Listening In, and he did I think 3 videos on the LOTR soundtrack, Efap should watch them, they’re really well done and really insightful into how the different musical themes track across movies and scenes
-
I was always scared of that scene growing up where smeagol killed his brother because the music was so disturbing but now I see how fantastic it really is
-
The soundtrack is amazing for writing, so I've listened to it more than 10x.
-
I love that we're getting the efap extended cut of the LotR extended cut. Sitting here, listening to people who appreciate good media just appreciating the hell out of good media. Oh wait, I mean "why are you guys so mean? You just hate everything, don't you!"
-
There is no bad, or even mediocre, music in the LOTR.
-
Not many film franchises where you can take the entire combined score of every movie, pick a random timestamp in it, and land on a moment of musical genius every single time. Friggin' incredible. My favorite, as hard as it is to pick one, is the Rohan theme that plays over the charge of the Rohirrim at the Battle of Pelenor Fields, which is also my favorite moment in Return of the King.
-
I'm pretty sure that up to this day I haven't heard a better soundtrack than that of The Lord of the Rings, it's just perfect and it fills the movies with so much emotion.
-
I love how they always say things like "How did they make it work" Its so impressive how LotR turned out considering how many points could have easily lead to failure
-
I miss the big Efaps with a bunch of hosts. All the recent ones have been minis from ones I've watched already or just catch up on Efaps I also watched already
-
The trilogy is 12 hours of perfectly composed music.
-
Awesome Soundtrack ☕️
-
Really Nice/Chill where the passion in an movie for them to enjoy
-
My personal favorite piece of LOTR music comes from when the hobbits first encounter a black rider in Fellowship. The whimsical, lighthearted themes as they run through Farmer Maggot's fields quickly turn sober once the hobbits reach the road, and the score continues to ramp up with darker, more intense melodies by the time they're being chased through the forest. Brilliantly encapsulates the journey's turn from more innocent, familiar areas into the threatening outside world
-
The soundtrack of all time.
