dang right, the soundtrack's awesome. i'm looking forward to the return of the king soundtrack, which i'm sure to be released just prior to the actual movie itself, just like how it was for two towels (ok, towers).

the fact that it didn't really follow the books doesn't really sadden me. i watched the movies before reading the books, knowing NOTHING in any movie can ever match the book which the story originates. is Presumed Innocent movie better than the novel? no way! can James Bond movies match the stories in the original novels? hell no! can x-men series be better than the comics? sheet no!

knowing that fact, i think it was wise of peter jackson to depart in some ways from the book itself to establish a better way of story telling. following the book et verbatim will make the movie boring. it'll be like hamlet talking to the skull all over.
