In the past, I have never really uploaded many tracks from attack on titan, at least from the first season.I do value the tracks highly, but the reason for it was because the show was fairly popular and anything I would have uploaded would most likely be something people would have already listened. Back then, I had a plethora of other, more less popular but quite good tracks to upload and due to that, I decided that I would only just stick to very few attack on titan uploads.
I was just going through what to upload the last few weekdays and realized that fair amount of AOT tracks are pending. Since I am just doing many filler uploads now-a-days anyway, I thought it might be a good chance to get these ones out as well.
Coming to the track, this track has a mix of different emotions in different parts. For example, the first part from the start of the track with those heavy drums, choir, church bells, and violins represent feeling of "urgency" and "sense of danger" quite nice. If I remember correctly, this part played when the female titan was chasing the scouts in the second half of first season. And to be honest, this first part is my favourite in the entire track. On top of it being very fitting for the background music, the beats are also quite catchy with that choir.
The small variations in the same tune are quite nice and really enhance the overall atmosphere this track generates. Like at 0:22 those violins picks up their pace, and the beats slow down a little in the background, and then beats come back but pace of violins remain the same. These sort of variations really fit the changing scenes where this track plays. Its like, even with the "Sense of danger" kind of feeling this track gives, there are different levels of that feeling that different parts of this track portray. Some are higher level, other are lower level.
For some reason, there is some sort of, well, at least "unique" tune in the middle of the this first part. I am not sure if I'd say its nice. It just feels..different..disjointed. But since its small, its fine i guess~
The first part, I'd say takes a break at 1:37 and another tune takes its place for a short time, which is more on the emotional side of the track. Its quite short, so it doesn't fit right to call it a "part", but it again represents those variations that I talked about. The track doesn't stay static at one type throughout and keeps giving different themes. This thing is nice, but as with many tracks from Sawano, the entire track is usually many tracks combined as I have said in the past in many of his tracks I have uploaded lol. It's rare to find a track that one can actually call "one track" when listening to his music. So many tracks do need some cropping.
Anyway, after that small break in the middle, the track goes back to its original theme and continues on for a few more seconds. The ending of this track is, something I would call fair. Not my favourite, but not bad either.
