The soundtrack comprises of a few short tunes and longer fully fledged tracks both ambient ones and more dominant tracks. In my opinion the greatest thing about this game is its atmospheric soundtrack.
A Walk in the Shire has burnt itself into my memory, it's such a warm, joyful and upbeat melody.
Working in the Mill has a nice groovy beat and melody. The strumming and then the pinch harmonic (I think) in the end, (chef's kiss).
Hobbiton is amazing. It's a warm compostion influenced by irish folk-music with a shanty-like melody.
Roast Mutton sounds like some dwarven sing-along tune, until it changes into a tense atmosphere halfway through.
The Wilderness uses jingles, jungle-drums and a bass synth played with a varying tempo to build tension and convey rising intensity.
Combat in the Lone Lands is good battle theme utilizing a busking guitar and orchestral elements to create tension.
Travelling to Rivendell is a short, heroic and almost western-like tune.
Flies and Spiders is a nice tense, slow ambient theme.
The Elven Halls sounds like a foul wind blowing through the area, which gives off a sinister and eerie vibe. It's one of the longer ambient tracks from the game, and it stands out due to how off-putting it is.
The Battle of Lake-Town is an epic and groovy battle theme.
The Black Arrow is a charming tense ambient theme.
Dwarves at Work sounds so quirky 😊.
