I know the last two expacs they have held music back as long as possible, but I would love it if they were holding it back because they had big names working on it. I remember what an impact Jeremy Soule had on MoP, although from what I understand he had some recent controversy sadly.
Regardless, I very much look forward to the music when it drops. The art team is still hitting* it out of the park.

All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.

Yeah so feral they are able to speak and strategize and have complex interpersonal relationships

And galakrond was one of those
When protodrakes came to try and negotiate with him in order to betray Tyr and the others he had his little army of zombie dragons ready to tear them apart after he got the information
It was nice but not much more to say than that. Definitely did not give us information or show characterization like the BfA ones or Uther from SL.
I think your view of the new "Legacies Animated-Short" depends on your expectation(s) going into it. Sure, if you expected new lore/information, then it probably wasn't that great to you. However, for me, I had no expectations going in so I really enjoyed it a lot.
I think they're usually also deriving entertainment from it, so I suppose there's sort of a peculiar Double Coincidence of Wants there. If your goal is to play tug-of-war, then it's certainly fine because you're both getting what you want. The only context in which I was speaking was in regards to serious argumentation.
Part of what struck me as interesting about this particular animated short is that there wasn't a specific person or subject it was about unlike many of the others. The BfA ones were all very specifically about one being (Jaina, Sylvanas, Azshara) & largely how certain specific instances have affected what actions they took. The Shadowlands ones were specifically about the four covenants & to a certain extent what problems the Jailer's machinations were causing each to undergo. This one though felt a bit more jumbled. The subject seems to be how the Aspects were created, but even then the parts about with the Dracthyr & Noz kind of pull away from those, and that's a not insignificant portion of the animation.
I'm definitely curious as to the direction the others will go. One I'd presume will be on the actual origins of the Dracthyr as well as their starting state in the game, but the third one is thus far a bit of a mystery to me.
I don't think it was bad at all. If people found it boring its probably because there was already a book devoted to this exact story. Where as the Azshara one in BfA for example, elaborated on an event we only vaguely knew about.
I am interested to see what the other two are. I am guessing one will be Deathwing's betrayal and downfall. And the last one probably covers the Primalists and the Dracthyr before being frozen in status.

I got the impression the shorts will be exploring how the dragons ended up where they are now by exploring three crucial moments in their history.
The Dracthyr and Nozdormu I feel is there to give a framing, and to set up for the inevitable Neltharion storyline likely coming later.
We just got the explanation for how the proto-dragons became proper dragons.
Then we will get the one with the Dracthyr, which will likely explain more on why the Aspects felt it necessary to close off the Isles.
And lastly we will get the one with the fall of Neltharion and the rise of Deathwing, to explain why the Aspects don't have their powers, which is important to understand the individual issues plaguing dragons as a whole.
Will have to see what the Dracthyr short tells us though, given how it's the only one that will have entirely new info, as opposed to this first one just being a retelling of Galakrond, and the third one being Neltharion based.

The Jaina one gave basically no new info whatsoever besides telling us Kul Tirans have a proud tradition of choirs. And that one is probably the best single short they have done.
Similarly the Sylvanas one also didn't actually tell us new info besides that directly relevant to its placement in the questline.
Not that i found this one stellar, as it didn't really elaborate on Proto-dragons and how they lived before Galakrond, but I think it was more here to establish Galakrond as a villain, and reestablishing the concept of Proto-dragons as barely sentient.
