Mery Christmas, y'all! All this time I realized I could have put in the preliminary ratings just for fun. Might as well just mention prelim ratings for the 9/10 ones so far.

Kimera II: 8.5
Floater Land: 8.1
YOATI: 8.6
Battle!!: 9.2

I plan on adding a prelim rating for everything else so far in the rankings, too.

36) Terraria Calamity - The Filthy Mind (Theme of the Hive Mind)
Series ranking: 1 out of 3

Prelim score: 8.1/10
Score: 9.0/10 (Amazing)
Composer: DM DOKURO
VGMC History: VGMC 14 (Lost R5 to Moonstruck Blossom)
Favorite part: https://youtu.be/1NbQFGnQaCE?t=47

Doom metal!!! (if I got that right there are way too many subgenres) The 5/4 gets utilized very well here with lots of variety in rhythms and phrase transitions! ! Its got some real thick and grindy electric guitar/bass orchestration, and I just LOVE the folky sound when the flute gets added to the mix. Depending on the day, my favorite TCM track is either this or Murderswarm. I feel lucky this one retired because its likely weaker than Servants or Crabulon, and this was probably the weakest VGMC 14 retiree. (And to think that Murderswarm literally lost a likely retirement by one vote)

It starts with a muted/glitchy sound ( for no real reason except to be random), with a catchy rhythmic ostinato set up right away. It then gets repeated louder by the HUGE bass (SCARY @NFUN) and violins introduce a new idea, the actual melody I guess, but honestly, thats not the main attraction. =p It turns into Halloween at 0:27. Oohs are nice when they come in (GLOOMY @NFUN), and the piano gets some fun stuff with some rhythmic interaction with the bass, though. The drumming in this section is also LOTS of FUN!!! At 0:47 we get a subtle crescendo into my favorite section! Gotta love that flute! Its such a great counterbalance to the electric stuff. Yummy phrygian way to end the section. The little flute break at 0:56 is TOO cool with the unison stuff. Then we finally get at 1:21 the electrics go ALL OUT, aw yeah!!! Mmmm, so dirty, so rough, so intense!!! At 1:26 it gets displaced by an eight note, too, what fun!!! The loop concludes similar to the half-way point, but with the electric guitars going at it even harder!!! Awesome. A total headbanger, this one! Listening to it with headphones is a bit much for me, so Im rating this based on use of regular speakers.
