What can I say, it's the last one. The last journey into Middle Earth, I thoroughly enjoyed this score as I have with all of Howard Shores Middle Earth epics.
While DoS remains my favourite of the three Hobbit scores this one has some excellent tracks my favourites include Shores of the Long Lake and The Gathering Clouds.
The main highlight from this album though is the brilliant end credits track by Billy Boyd, an inspired choice to have perform the last track for the Middle Earth films, beautifully recorded and sang it's both a joy to listen to but has that tinge of sadness knowing that this is the final journey.
