The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture)

People have been complaining that the song Billy Boyd sung wasn’t in this album, but it is; it is called The Steward of Gondor. You have to listen to the song all the way through.

This is the best soundtrack from one of the greatest soundtracks of all time! These songs are mastered wonderfully. My favorite tracks would be: A Storm is Coming 10/10- Beautiful and sad opening track to the film, foreshadows anger and death. Hope and Memory 9/10- Sounds very urgent and rushed. Minas Tirith 9/10- Introduces the majestic motif of Gondor, very beautifully and majestically. The White Tree 10/10- Broods slowly, but then swells up majestically as Pippin lights the beacons of Gondor. The Steward of Gondor 10/10- Foreshadows death and destruction. The song Pippin ( Billy Boyd ) sings is so sad and beautiful. Minas Morgul 8/10- Starts loud and terrifying, almost like a war-cry. The Ride of the Rohirrim 9/10- Like Hope and Memory, very quick and urgent. Twilight and Shadow 10/10- One of the best vocalized songs in the entire film series. Cirith Ungol 8/10- Mostly dark and mysterious. Anduril 9/10- Majestically swells into the motif of Rivendell and the elves. Shelob’s Lair 10/10- This song creates a terrifying motif traveling very fast. Ash and Smoke 9/10- This song begins calmly, but swells up sadly and angrily. The Fields of the Pelenor 10/10- Calm at the beginning, but swells into a fanfare as the Rohirrim charge, and a chorus sings as they are in the thick of battle. Hope Fails 8/10- The song is sad, foreshadows despair. The Black Gate Opens 10/10- Very beautiful. The tin whistle creating a hopeful theme is beautiful, but soon swells into a heroic chorus. The End of All Things 10/10- The tension in this song is incredible. It is the best vocal song in the trilogy. It is very epic and puts a violent end to the One Ring. The Return of the King 10/10- This song is so hopeful and beautiful. Aragorn ( Viggo Mortensen ) singing in Elvish is amazing. The Grey Havens 9/10- This song is such a great song to end the film, it is so sad and hopeful. Into the West 10/10- This song is so beautifully performed. Amazing end to the soundtrack.

Into the West alone would be worth the money you would spend on the whole album. Such a fantastic soundtrack to an epic movie.

I like Lord of the Rings a lot—the books, the movies, and the soundtrack. The soundtrack is high quality GOOD music. The Black Gate Opens and Into the West are like the best.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SOUNDTRACK. And also pippins song is there. It's a part of "The Steward of Gondor." If you guys actually BOUGHT it and LISTENED to it you would actually hear it. Funny how that works.

Every song is like a legend.

Seriously the best soundtrack I have ever heard. Totally worth buying this fantastic album.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS this soundtrack while looking...
