0:15 No matter how many decades or expansions pass, this part still gives me chills even 20 years later, simply epic

So epic, so beautiful. Hopefully a longer version shows up soon, on par with the usual length we get for these.

I listened to DF music a lot when it first came out, especially the 12 minute long version, and I can see doing the same when they release the full version of this. Pretty solid. For me personally, the loading screen is just ok, I'm pretty indifferent to it, really loved the one for DF, but I barely see it overall during normal gameplay, so if this is it, I'll be fine, but hope like people are saying and that more will be made of it as we progress through the expansion.

Finally a soundtrack that sounds epic and more in line with what warcraft should sound like. The musical development of this game has been in steady decline, with dragonflight not producing a single good soundtrack. It got to the point that I had to mute the music for several zones. The amount of bland, Disney-sounding, elevator type of music is out of hand. So I really like the sound of this, and hope that this is the direction they will be going with their soundtracks.
