Terraria Calamity - Servants of the Scourge (Theme of the Sentinels of the Devourer)

Granblue Fantasy - New World Order
I really like the direction the beginning is taking. You got the harpsichord, and when combined with the violin and choir synth, it provides somewhat of a rustic feel to the track. Im LOVING the moving/rhythmic background parts in combination with the slow violin melody on top. And then the vocals come in, and the music totally craps the bed for a little while. Im just a fan of the writing for the singers, initiallyit seems to be all over the place. And Im just not a fan of the singers style. Fortunately, the vocal writing gets a LOT better once we hit 1:44. The way the music climaxes after that is awesome. Im loving the violin coming in after that moment, too! Way to move the move the music forward. What happens at 2:29 is a bit unexpected and oddly satisfying to listen to. The music finishes on a positive note. Overall, really good but man, that long INTRO.

Terraria Calamity Mod Music - "Servants of The Scourge"
Whoa is what describes the first section, especially when I listened to it for my first time. Where to begin? The first section has no real melody, really and yet it grabs our ears! Impressive (you could say the chimes are the melody), and that says a lot about the harmonies. D-flat/E-Flat/A-Flat (whatever that is), D major 7, G major 7, A major 9, B major 9.(something like that), and then repeat but somewhat different. Some of those chords seem to leave out the 3rd and use the 4th instead. Cool. What an ATMOSPHERE this track creates, too. Chimes in VGM are often used awkwardly in VGM, but not here! I just LOVE them in this track. Those treble synth flourishes are awesome, too.

I enjoy the respite from the high energy of the previous section at 1:00, and once again, chimes are used in a lovely way. I always welcome the main theme coming back a second time (A theme this good needs to be milked, right?), and starting that on a lower dynamic seems pretty effective. 2:52 in of itself is nothing special, but somehow it fits in with the overall music, and I admit that I like the silences such as at 3:10. And I really like how 2:52 starts offmid-rhythm is the best way to describe it. It temporally makes you think its off by a half-beat, but then it kind of corrects itself quickly and the rhythms back to normal. I like that! And then theres 3:32 where the melody goes flatter as it tapers off I love that! And then, when I thought we were in the second loop, 4:43 presents something entirely new. Cool. I like the change up in the meter and texture there while borrowing old melody, but modified.
