My CD is just fine, so I don't know what you're talking about. Ah well. <BR>Anyway, I find the soundtrack absolutely wonderful. On of my favorite tracks is "The Return of the King" (track 17) mostly because of the fact it's 10 minutes long. Seriously, it has a lot of the themes from everywhere, including the Shire music, which for some reason I found to be sadder than the music in FOTR. I also really like "The Steward of Gondor" because I like listening to pan pipes for some reason. Also they seem to remind me of a previously great civilization slowly falling into decay. (Don't ask where I get this impression, it just seems that way to me.) "Shelob's Lair" is great because it seems to encompass the feelings of urgency and lingering danger to me, also my eagerness to see how PJ has done that scene is also spilling over. "The Ride of the Rohirrim I like because I love the hardinger music. I love "The Grey Havens", but I have absolutely no clue why. Also I really like how they brought back some of the theme from "In Dreams" back from Fellowship, because I thought that the song was very appropriate to ROTK. (I can't remember what song it's in!) <BR>And last but not least, I got the Gollum/Smeagol cover mostly because of the fact that I love the look on Gollum's face on the cover, plus I'm not exactly a fangirl of any of the actors from the movie, plus my little sister was around at the time, and she told me to get Gollum.
