Music editing in this film was downright awful

I feel so badly for Howard Shore. Almost all his new themes were taken out of the film, and it's such a shame because he was given no chance to establish this film with its own musical identity. The copying and pasting was embarrassingly bad: the use of the "hobbit's understanding" motif was too schmaltzy, the Nazgul theme in relation to Thorin too over-the-top, the same setting of the Misty Mountains theme too obvious and repetitive after the fifth time the dwarves charged into battle, the reuse of the History of the Ring theme over every closeup of the Ring also too obvious.
It was as if the sound editors had no faith in Howard Shore's ability to tell the story and needed every single moment telegraphed to the audience. Such a shame that all the subtlety was sucked out of this score.

I skimmed the last thread about this because it was too much of a downer...

They based their judgment upon the OST.
