Calendral Congregation has been officially revealed as a Fanmade Sector akin to Sector Skeleton or Sector '

And honestly, the roster makes more sense in a Central Singularity context.

Honestly Don't Know MSM

Now that Dawn of Fire has recieved it's final update (for a while), I wanted to give my personal thoughts and improvements for the 6 songs within. I will be going in Map order rather than release order.



The Continent:

Obviously there is no way I can complain about the roster of the Continent as, aside from the seasonals, the monster selection was set in stone from the start. The only sounds I have issue with are the ones most commonly brought up by the community, those being Schmoochle and Blabbit.
The majority of vocal monsters on the Continent strike a balance that allows them to sound like a baby (as they are meant to) without sounding too much like a "chipmunk" which these two fail to do.
Other than them, the rest of the song sounds heavenly and I have no problems with the other sounds.



Party Island:

It is no secret that Party Island is the most controversial song in DoF due to the odd selection of monsters and energy to the song that doesn't always feel like a party. It also doesn't help that Party Island has always felt like an afterthought since it's placement on the map was as the first Outer Island despite being the last one released.
Due to this, I have always thought that the monsters of Party Island could be better off on other Islands which I will get to later.
Potbelly, Noggin, Mammott, Kayna, Furcorn, Oaktopus, Quibble, Stogg, Pom Pom, Ziggurab, and Candelavra are already on other Outer Islands so I will not be mentioning their replacings.



Space Island:

If this review was written before Bowhead, I would have complained about Space Island feeling like it repeates the entire song about halfway through but, since then, Bowhead has been added to the later repeats of these sections which make them feel new to me and fixes my only problem with the song. Every monster on Space Island feels right to be there (aside from maybe Flowah but that isn't a big deal). I sometimes wish the smaller percussions like Pummel, Clamble, and Tring were able to do more in the song but that doesn't ruin the song at all.
For the mosters who used to be on Party, I would add Edamimi and Quarrister.
Edamimi has proven to be good in a song like Space with it's performance on Psychic. Party Island and the Continet also taught us that a Quarrister/Candelavra duet works in a song.



Cloud Island:

Cloud Island has always been my favourite Outer Island and with the addition of Tuskski, my opinion has not changed! Similar to Space, I don't think there is a single monster who should be removed as they all have their rightful place in a song that is a nice blend between calm and chaotic (mainly because of Shellbeat). I appreciate monsters such as Sneyser and Tuskski for adding a heavy bass sound to the song that I think it really benefits from.
Of the monsters leftover from Party, I think Cloud would work best with Maw and Scups.
I feel Maw could have a duet or call and response section with Boskus like they do on Fire Oasis and Scups' unconventional form of percussion is in a similar vein to Incisaur and Pango who both sound great on Cloud Island.



Cave Island:

Of all the Outer Islands, Cave has undoubtedly had the biggest tonal shift from start to finish but I think this is a positive shift as it gives MSM it's most orchestral song to date. There are a handful of monsters (Flowah, Barrb, and Wynq) that I think are at their best on Cave. However, other monsters could do with playing louder (Thumpies), playing quieter (Yelmut), or playing less often (PongPing). With these small criticisms aside, I do think Cave has all the right elements to be my favourite DoF song but just needs slight tweaks to boost it that small bit higher.
The final monsters left from Party are Shrubb and T-Rox which I think could both work well in the calmer sections of Cave to fill them out more while avoiding overcrowding the Yelmut parts of the song.



Starhenge:

Finally, I think Starhenge is the best we have ever heard the Celestials as it perfectly encapsulates the god-like status the Celestials hold in a way I wish Celestial Island did. Scaratar's sound alone should convey this opinion. I also much prefer Starhenge's mechanic of obtaining Celestials over the one in the main game, although that doesn't affect my thoughts on the song. I do wish Galvana only had one track and did not sing "Rootitoot" towards the end as I feel it has always overshadowed Blasoom's solo. Despite this nitpick, I overall love Starhenge and see it as a perfect finale to the Dawn of Fire.



Please let me know if you agree or disagree with my opinions and where I put the leftover monsters from Party Island, I'd love to do more reviews like this in the future.
