(Ed Bellis) see, this is how you do slow build, even if it does go on for like two minutes longer than it should
(Kenri) I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. Why have I been made to listen to this song multiple times. I hate this.
(MycroProcessor) JACK WALL DIDNT COMPOSE THIS ONE. I still like it though! I think it fits the atmosphere of the rest of the soundtrack and what I've seen of the game even if in a different style. Kind of a neat drumbeat with the interesting timings of the snare. I LIKE THE constant 16th guitar, DELAY ECHO5 it gives this a really enjoyable feel. The synth pads are really nice in the mix in my opinion as well and I like the SOUNDs of them with their EPIC chord CHANGES.
The song develops a little too slowly, but it does the build-up very well and at least has an interesting enough backdrop to keep the listener engaged until it finally climaxes at about 4:30. But then it goes for another three minutes without anything really happening. So while the tone and vibe are good, I can certainly understand how someone might find it boring.

(xp1337) I feel like WoW has some good songs... but Nightsong is not one of the ones I'd think of in that category.
(Ytterbium_70) It's a Warcraft song. It's fairly cool, but it didn't payoff as much as I'd like it to.
I'd kindly like to point you to the number on azuarc's ranking on this one. And it's not especially close. I don't think I really need to say anything more than that. Well, other than xp and ark, you two suck. Everyone else gave it at least a 3!

(xp1337) So is this! And here I thought Fire Aura probably already locked up 2nd place and everything else would be a fight for the bottom 3! That said, I think I still like Fire Aura more, but it's very, very close.
(ImTheMacheteGuy) Kinda confused by what I'm watching. Never heard of the game so I have no background info/context. Ah okay, actually I see in the comments. Interesting. Has an epic feel to it, but doesn't do an awful lot for me. The part at ~4:22-4:44 is pretty sweet and 5:41 to the end is good too. Definitely above average and a cool idea, but didn't really captivate me. 6.3/10
This was the best I could come up with for a soundtrack to a game that I enjoyed playing and thought had a need, if somewhat ambient OST. Best part comes at 1:13.

(Vengeful_KBM) Eh.
I could swear I had seen another comment from someone saying it's no Crash and Burn or...some other track I had never heard of. Apologies to whomever that was. Anyway, this song could give M4 lessons on how to do a build-up in a reasonable amount of time, but the breakdown is somewhat lacking, and I'm surprised nobody picked on the synth drums solo. And with this one going out, Shareware is officially dead.
