first off the songs dragged down the plot? oh no no no they made the plot now i can't even see them not having them it was something new for the bronys and many of us blow it way out of proportion. music is a way of telling a story just as any other form of media. and boy dose it, it sets the problem with rareity makeing twilight investigate and after she gose and gets a bit depressed then choses to take action it recaps as she saves her friend then the build up with twilight going boom and celestia ballad was perfect it really tells the veiwer she earned it and this set up so many good storys to come what they do with it we are going to have to wait and see but you should have a bit of faith in the show good day to you sir. magical mystery cure gets a 9/10 for its daring do attitude:)
