Here’s The Tracklisting & Artwork For The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Soundtrack

Now this is exciting. Though we’ve been already been treated to teasers, trailers, posters and behind-the-scenes production videos, actually getting to see soundtrack artwork and a tracklisting really puts this whole thing into perspective: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey isn’t far off, people, and it’s going to be epic.

And it’s also great to see Howard Shore’s name again, given that he crafted one of the best soundtracks ever when he composed the music for the The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Below, anyway, you can check out the official artwork for both the regular and special editions of the soundtrack to the upcoming Peter Jackson movie. There’s also the list of tracks included on both versions of the soundtrack, which you can use to sneakily piece together the upcoming storylines (if, say, you’re a nerd).
