Howard Shore delivered three amazing albums for The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and I adore the music we've heard in the trailers thus far. If there's any aspect of The Hobbit I have completely confidence, it's in Shore's score. Today, the album art and tracklisting for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was announced along with a special edition version that will contain four more tracks. The artwork is nice (the special edition will fit in nicely with the Lord of the Rings special edition albums), but the tracklistings give us an idea of where in the story the first movie will end, so if you want to stay away from spoilers, consider yourself warned.
Hit the jump to check out the album art and tracklisting. The soundtrack will arrive on December 11th. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens December 14th.
