5.0 out of 5 stars
Great, but beware..., April 13 2004
This review is from: Lord.. Return of the King -3cd (Audio CD)
PLEASE note that this set does NOT include the three limited edition CDs, each of which had various features not available on the standard discs. These are the standard discs; the advertising is misleading. I did not discover this until I opened the box set, and when I returned it to Amazon, I was only credited a partial amount. Which is a ripoff, but so be it. In any case, the music is one of the best scores ever written, so it gets nothing but five stars from me. Just don't think you're getting something you aren't.

Greatest Soundtracks ever....in a not so great box set, Jan 11 2004
This review is from: Lord.. Return of the King -3cd (Audio CD)
Not only are the Lord of the Rings movies the greatest of all time, the music within them is top notch as well. The music's themes are excellent and inspiring, even toppling heavy-weights, such as Indiana Jones and Star Wars. Everything about the actual music is great, but the box set is overpriced. You can buy all three CD's serparatly for much less money or you can buy the first two and then the special edition third CD with extra DVD for around the same price. The included inserts are only for novelty sake; they can be used as actual CD covers, but my feeling is that replacing the inserts is somewhat useless. However, the inserts are of some quality and make excellent tiny posters. If you like the Lord of the Rings, get the soundtracks, but don't be shy to buy the REAL box set with maybe 12 discs with the entire score when it comes out sometime in the near future.

Overpriced, Dec 20 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Lord.. Return of the King -3cd (Audio CD)
This set contains all three wonderful albums, but that's it. If you divide the price by three, you'll see that you'll end up paying MORE than if you were to buy them individually. Ripoff.
