I haven't decided yet if I like it better or if I prefer the original.!
I don't like these new mixes. At all ...
...
here we go....

....one thing I have learned, Zimmer's Album suites are a lot better than what is actually written for the films. .
That is why I am excited by this release but would never part with the ost!!!!!

Re: replacing acoustic instruments where there was synths before
Does this reflect the score as performed and heard in the a film ITSELF?
iF, SO that would be a definite plus on this release!

Maybe that's a reason why it's not a plus (for me that is, not speaking for others); because it does not reflect the score as heard in the film...
What is wrong with the new mixes?

What is wrong with the new mixes?
Nothing wrong with them per se, it's just that they are not the mixes you hear on the old album or in the film. So some of you might be dissapointed. Some parts are not that different, while other parts are more different.
I guess most people (certainly the ones not really familiar with the score from before) don't hear any difference, or don't care, and/or enjoys the new mixes even more (good for them), but personally I prefer the original mix, that's all. And I'm glad both versions are "available" in one form or the other.
For the (usually) non-Zimmer lovers, I'm sure the new mixes could sound more interesting, since they do sound less (old-school) Zimmer'ish !?
While it can't be compared directly, I'm thinking it as a bit similar to the Backdraft case, where the original mixes are so much better (aka Zimmer'ish, in this case that means in a positive way), than the album mixes (again, this is just my own personal opinion), where much of the synths had been removed (Not that it's the same thing with The Lion King, I don't think that's the case (certainly not to that degree), it's just mixed differently.)
Re - the "new" 'singing' choir, it's still there on the original mixes as well (if you listen closely), but just not so much "in your face" in the mix. While I'm not so into these terms, I guess the new mix is a more "dry" mix, where the original was more "wet" (is that correct ?) ... or to explain it in another way, while the instruments (or the different layers) sound more 'separated' in the new mix, they are more 'blended' in the original mix, which is what I like better anyway ... again, that's all...
(just to comment (just in general) regarding the 'aaah'-choir, and 'singing'-choir; it's not like 'aaaah'-choir=synth choir, and 'singing'-choir=live/real choir ... you can get both kinds with both a synth-choir and live-choir)

From what I know, some of the Album/Film versions are elements (as in stems) of the tracks on Disc 1, and the Demos on Disc 2 edited together.

Just received The Lion King and enjoying it a lot.
Hope this is the way Disney will be releasing its scores in the future, complete with the songs and score arranged in their order, .....
.... the added material really enhances the experience, with motivs from the songs being used in the score tracks and the several themes being more noticeable and really shining and developing during the score - there's a lot of material associated with Scar and the hyenas that was mostly missing from the previous release.
.
i AGREE 100 percent!
Listened to disc one and love it - how can i not!?

On first listen I would say that the suite which concludes the original release is a better listen than the final track of TLC "The Rightful King".
This new version clocks in at 10 plus minutes and meanders a bit as it follows the on-screen action

Warning! Warning!
Attention 'cross-fade crazies': this release CONTAINS MANY CROSS-FADES including one that goes from score to song. How dare they!
Beware!
