Yodragon | The Isles Awaken (All Themes Labled) - Login Screen Music of WoW: Dragonflight @YodragonWasTaken | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 22 hours ago.
That's right, I've labeled and timestamped every single theme in this login screen track! If you want to know more about a specific theme, just read the little description underneath its timestamp down there.
If you're curious about the alternative versions of this track found in the game files, then you can download them here: mega.nz/folder/XoI10STJ#KXiDbf04RWXMtJt1FUAvGg
They're in "The Isles Awaken (Main Title)" folder.
***WARNING!: There is a ton of nitpicking below!***
Much like the other recent login screen themes (BfA and Shadowlands), the music here is mainly a compilation of in-game themes that have been edited together. Personally, I really miss the old style of creating a unique composition for the entire login screen that utilizes different themes from the expansion but is still recorded with the whole orchestra all at once. The only unique parts of these newer login screen themes are like the first 2-3 minutes and the rest is just reused material.
I also wish the ending of this theme was more climactic and epic, like the older ones. This one, similarly to BfA and Shadowlands, simmers down near the end and doesn't really give me that feeling of finality I was hoping for.
Ah well, even though I am a little disappointed that this theme is following the same less-than-stellar trends of the other new login screen themes, there's still a lot to like here.
***WARNING!: Positive vibes below!***
I love the new Dragonflight theme that Jake Lefkowitz made and how adventurous and joyful it sounds. It's very uplifting which is fitting for this expansion because of how much lighter in tone it feels compared to previous ones.
Even though a lot of the themes here are copy and pasted from the in-game versions, they are at least edited together in an interesting way. For example, the "Azure Span Explorer" theme is edited together in a way that feels pretty fluent and new, which sets it apart from the original version it was taken from.
I also felt that the themes they picked for this login screen track were pretty decent. Unlike the Shadowlands one which had some questionable choices in it, pretty much all of the themes here feel like they fit the vibe of a login screen.
0:00 - Dragonflight Main Theme
This is the main theme for Dragonflight composed by Jake Lefkowitz. It first appeared in the Dragonflight announcement cinematic.
0:21 - Legends of Azeroth (WoW Main Theme)
This is the main theme of WoW that Jason Hayes composed in vanilla WoW. Pretty much every login screen has referenced this theme in some way. For this one, there's bits of the Dragonflight main theme sprinkled in it.
1:37 - Dragonflight Main Theme
This is a reprise of the Dragonflight main theme, but with a lot more adventurous energy in it.
2:46 - Valdrakken 3
The third theme for the Dragonflight capital city, Valdrakken. It mainly plays as an intro track for the outdoor areas.
3:21 - Forbidden Reach 2
This is one of the prominent themes for the Forbidden Reach, the dracthyr starting zone. I personally don't like it as much as "Forbidden Reach 1" but it's still a decent pick.
4:12 - Primalist 2
This plays in Primalist-related places throughout the Dragon Isles, like the Frostone Vault after Raszageth breaks out with the help of Kurog Grimtotem.
5:01 - Azure Span Ruins
One of the themes of Azure Span that mainly plays in the dragon ruin areas.
5:49 - Azure Span Explorer
The main theme of Azure Span that plays generally throughout the zone.
6:52 - Ohn'ahran Foothills
This is the theme that plays in the foothills and mountainous areas of Ohn'ahran Plains.
7:16 - Ohn'ahran Plains
The main theme of Ohn'ahran Plains that plays generally in this zone.
8:02 - Thaldraszus Titan 4
This mainly plays in Tyrhold and other Titan-related places in Thaldraszus.
9:20 - Valdrakken 2
The second theme for the Dragonflight capital city, Valdrakken.
10:24 - Centaur 3
This plays in centaur-related places throughout Ohn'ahran Plains, mainly for the warlike Nokhud clan.
11:14 - Djaradin 2
This plays in djaradin-related places like the Obsidian Citadel and its dungeon, Neltharus.
