I have to agree with you here. The Elves' theme wasn't done very well. But most other themes were. They repeat throughout, so when I watch the movies I start associating them with certain things. My favourite is what I mentally call the "history theme" that is played in the very beginning of FOTR.

Overall, though, I think the music is great. One of the few things that is. Also It's better than the music of many other movies that I've seen. It's solid, and some themes (not the Lorien one) are done very well.
