"It's absolutely criminal that "The Lighting of the Beacons" was only included in the extended version of the soundtrack. Otherwise, this condensed version is wonderful. Howard Shore's score was absolutely essential to making the Lord of the Rings trilogy into the epic it became."  Reply

"This little-known Australian prog-metal band shows some tenacity on an album that really should be more widely recognised but unfortunately isn't.
