I still haven't seen it. But it's playing in the theatre where I work so I've been listening to it quite a bit. (I've read the book several times, so I'm not exactly worried about spoilers.)
But let me just say: the music is AMAZING.
I'm so glad they got Howard Shore to do it again. There are so many musical call backs to the Lord of the Rings and some of the musical elements are so distinctive that I know what's happening on the screen while I'm cleaning things in other parts of the theatre: because that is the orc theme!
And the Song of the Lonely Mountain is totally kick ass.
