Season 5 may be the most musical season ever?

Maybe I just don't notice it that much but, we are 5 episodes in and not only have finally gotten our very first and probably last RD song, but every single episode so far as had a song in it of some kind. 4 of them full length songs.

 

Do you think this may be shaping up to be the most musical season yet? What if every episode had a song? Would that be good or bad?

It might be the season with the most songs, but sadly, only Our Town has been any good so far. I miss when MLP songs were proper Disney-style showtunes. These days, they're basically just forgettable pop songs more often than not.

Amoral cynic with a bitchin' vocabulary.

Check out A Century of Song if you like music from before this millennium.

Seems to be that way. I don't think it's a bad thing as long as they're good songs and it's not overdone in a single episode (not hating on Magical Mystery Cure or anything but that was a little too much singing for my taste) Honestly of all the songs we've heard so far this season Applejack's lullaby has been my personal favorite. So sweet! :catface:

I guess it's been a slight more musical start than the other seasons. Still, every song except for Applejack's lullaby has had odd context to me... helps to drive the point this show ain't all sunshine & rainbows though I guess. :P

Eh, we haven't heard everything yet, but I agree that the songs haven't been the greatest so far this season yet. :huh:

I've noticed this too. There's been a big musical number in every episode except Bloom and Gloom (I don't count the lullaby since it wasn't a big number). It's still too early to say. They could just be getting all their songs out in the beginning.

They always do a song at the season's end, though. That'll be fun.  ^_^

Honestly if they songs are as good as they have been up to this point I have no problem with that!

 

As for the question it is neither good or bad in itself; it just depends on the execution.

I am getting more of an Equestria Girls vibe from these newer songs so far but I still really enjoy them. They are positive and upbeat and they work very well with the episodes at this point, so no real complaints from me.

 

I was hoping we would see more songs in season 5, the people who do the music for the show are very talented and I love hearing what they can do. :D

 

I do hope we see some new musical/show tune style songs eventually in the season. Variety is always good.

Kinda feels that way so far, don't it?

 

We've had 3 songs in 5 episodes, but we still have 21 episodes to go and who knows how many of them will have songs?

 

Though I'm with Mand'alor Dash. I'd rather have a small number of good or great songs than a bunch of mediocre or bad ones...

How do you think WE feel?!

Yeah they do seem to be pumping out a lot of songs, and I gotta say the songs are much better then season 4, they seem to be going back to the style of earlier seasons instead of that experimental stuff in season 4. 


No matter how hard I try these ponies will simply never leave me.

Well I'm going to quote myself:

 

Every season has about the same amount of songs.

But in season 5, it looks like they preferred to put 1 song in many episodes, rather than many songs in a few episodes (which is what they used to do, look at Magical Mystery Cure, A Friend in Deed or Pinkie Pride...).

I agree this season has a somewhat season 1 feel to it, it's nice

So far I think I might have to say yes. Apparently they're trying to mix in the stuff from the earlier seasons again now. But I just wish they'd make every episode as awesome as the season 4 finale was.

Well currently I am not minding this one bit if this is true.  The songs are one of my favorite parts of the series.  Plus Daniel Ingram stated on twitter that this was his favorite season for songs and seeing how he is really talented that says something.  Also imagine all the great fan remixes that will come from this season.  Just imagine.

Hey, if the songs are good then who are we to complain? If the songs were cheesy or boring then I would definitely be complaining but they're not. Judging from what we've seen from these five episodes we're about to get REALLY musical.
