ROTK will be the best of the bunch, I'm certain. It builds upon FOTR and TTT to reach a height that would have otherwise been unattainable. I shiver thinking about the final development and interaction of the many themes. Shore is an unparalleled master at this. Who else would have had the concept of playing a theme one time in the first movie, on a solo French horn, and then bringing it back with elaborate orchestration in the third? Shore does it with not one but two themes - The Realm of Gondor, and Minas Tirith.
There was an outstanding Track-by-Track discussion of the OSTs in the Novices and Newcomers forum a couple years ago; I wish there were enough CR owners out there to do one for the Complete Recordings as well. Ah well; at this point I'll be happy if I get ROTK:CR by Christmas!
