So since I got tired of waiting on somebody to upload a soundtrack from a $300 collector's edition, I decided to take matter into my own hands and go to eBay. But let me tell you guys, the $19 I spent were the LEAST painful part of this experience. Whoever mastered this soundtrack decided to not put any metadata on the disc. So guess who had to enter everything in manually, especially those final tracks with the weird ass names and the accents all over the place?

*raises hand*

It took me an HOUR from opening the disc before I could actually listen to the music. Jesus, you would think some metadata would be the least we could ask for. At least we got per track credit in the booklet. That was nice of them.

As for the music...its okay. It's not intelligent an intelligent score; we are not getting layers of musical depth here. But it's fun. Or maybe I'm shallow. Maybe it's both. Whatever the case, I would say the very best tracks are signified by not being named after "quotes". Those, I think, are cinematic cues, and they seem to my ears as the weakest part of the score. They jump from one musical idea to the next so quickly, it's like being caught in an amusement park ride that doesn't know when to stop.

The biggest complaint I can give to the score is that, somewhere along the way, Grigg and Schyman lost the unique voice that "Shadow of Mordor" had. Now this seems to be the Gary Schyman in Middle-Earth show...which is not bad, necessarily. I like Schyman alot. Between Bioshock and Dante's Inferno, he is one of those game composers that just don't get enough work nowadays.

But hey, it's a fun score, and I think I got my money's worth.

Yeah, and it is restricted to a $300 collector's edition. Good thing that we have eBay, but still.

Am i surprised fucking WB locked the OST behind a 300 Dollar Paywall ? Not one fucking Bit.

Good Move DoubleHex for managing to get your Hands on it for quite a bit less.

Not interested in the Source Material, but it's Schyman, so i've gotta have it. ;)

320 is perfectly fine, anyone who wants more can buy it himself.

Only got One Question : If it's 320, shouldn't it be CBR instead of VBR ?

Anyway, the Upload is very much appreciated, thanks ! +Rep

Also, do we have a Cover for this one, don't care if it's a Scan, Digital or Custom Cover.

As you were.

I can't really condone WB's business practices with microtransactions and selling the OST exclusively with Mithril, but thank you Doublehex. Rep given!

EDIT:
I have to know, do the discs contain legit FLAC files?

Yeah, the cds could be ripped to FLAC. But I'm not doing it because I don't care for FLAC.

I could always make a mock-up cover and post here when done? Might actually give me some motivation to make one since i haven't done it for a while now :)

Also, Doublehex, I know you don't care for FLAC, but in terms of a quality-sounding codec, wouldn't the Nero AAC 256kbps one be better than MP3 VBR?

How the fuck are images 30 MB big? That is insane. I have never seen images that big, unless they were scans.

I know right? It's almost as big as my MP2 version of this album. No sense in an image being that big. Your eyes can't tell the difference anyways. Much like music. Lower the size and the more bits you take out the better!

If you use Photoshop, work with original images (sized between 4k-5k resolution) and chop it down to 2500px with text, export to PNG, it does become 20MB per image.

I've managed to finally upload my smaller JPEG versions of the covers here. One is a slight variant on SpaceMarin's cover.

Well OP doesn't like FLAC which is fine, they are entitled to their opinion, and they bought the soundtrack. I just really hope that someone who appreciates FLAC and lossless music comes along.

You don't need FLACs. You don't need this music. You don't need to be in this thread.
