  1. Can I be honest?
    It's not bad. Hell, it HAS that Warcraft feel to it, especially once the Stormwind theme kicks in.

    HOWEVER!

    I think the key thing that feels off about this unofficial track is the fact that it's missing a variation of Legends of Azeroth (the original login music/main theme from Classic)
    Most of the WoW themes have some variation of the track (mainly the first 35 seconds of the original version) that typically starts up anywhere between the :05 and :40 second mark before going into a strong variation of the theme that either matches the aesthetic of the expansion, or a mix of various tracks from the expansion.

    The Cataclysm version also feels off for much of the same reason as it teases the opening bars at about 30 seconds in, but holds off for about another minute (it does however get massive credit in the final minute or so for the best rendition of the back half of the main theme in the entire series)

    Here? It's just missing entirely. A WoW theme song, even an unofficial one, just feels wrong without Legends of Azeroth mixed in.

    I'm no composer myself, but as a suggestion, what if the part that feels like the intro of the track for about the first 40 seconds got trimmed down to about 28-30 seconds as that feels like an appropriate spot for a Legends variation to kick in? That variation of Legends then plays for about the standard 30-40 seconds or so depending on the overall tempo (I'm thinking it'd be a slower variation similar to the start of the BfA version based on what I'm hearing here), and then move into the Stormwind section that starts at about 1:06.

    I think that would go a long way towards making this feel like a proper WoW theme.
