Why is there such an absence of decent songs this season? In every other season, regardless of the quality of the episodes themselves, I could usually count on some decent songs to show up. So far we have had two songs this season, both pretty terrible. It could be argued that they are intentionally bad, the first sounding deliberately generic and phoned in to act as a time waster and show how they will sing songs for any reason. The second is an intentionally cringy romance song. They suit their purposes, I guess, but that is no excuse for the lack of any other actually good songs.

yes, about the song this is the weakest season.
movie

After 7 years, Daniel is burned out
>>30200061
All love, care and talent was absorbed by Equestria Girls.
>>30200331
This movie better have some damn good songs and not the sort of pop sounding stuff Ingram has been putting out lately.

This.
You can easily feel how much more fun he's having with EQG desu.
And I'm sure the movie's going to blow our minds.
Can't wait to see him get hired for disney or some shit.
>>30200061
He put all his effort in EQG now, MLP is just the secondary one now.
To be honest he literally lost all his motivation after being defeated by madagascar two time in a row
Best Friends (Until the End of Time) was a catchy tune. Maybe your ear is full of shit

This, Best Friends was catchy as hell.
>>30200061
Ingram need to focus in the EQG specials and the EQG5 movie
>>30200061
All the new shorts are songs.
Ingram can't focus in the ponies because he always put more effort in EQG
>>30201044
Yeah, it was catchy but not as good as his old stuff still.
On another note the animation for that song was shit.
Movie, and EqG. Ingram always liked modern pop sounds more, so he puts more effort into EqG.

Animation for songs has been shit for the past two seasons. I miss Sibsy.
>>30201223
Catchy in the way most modern pop songs are. Sure, you can bob your head to them, but that doesn't mean pop music isn't shit.

Well, no, saying that pop music is shit is kinda dumb.
Most of it, sure.
I mean, FiM's songs are pop songs, for the most part. Especially the most loved by the fandom.That's why it's called pop
We can't say for sure WHY this song was a bit below the rest, it may simply be because he didn't have time to work on it or smth. It could've been a "hey, btw Dan, we need a 2minutes song about friendship for next tuesday!"

Before 1st season even started, Ingram had a 2-3 years (?) worth of songs ready to be used.
In an interview he stated that they only pulled one out when it fit into the episode. It wasn't used to fill up time.
I would guess that the buffer eventually got utsed up. Together with old inspirations and stuff he might have planned.
With EQG and S6, I think he lacked the capacity/time to do decent songs.
And now with S7, writers just toss in a song as filler-shit, and not as a relevant part of the story.
I really doubt any good music will come during S7 but it's not impossible.
>>30201295
It's more how they repeat animation. They never did it to this degree before S6 and it's super noticeable.
>>30201352
Both of the songs we got in S7 were parodies of the concepts of characters breaking into song. I mean both are intentionally supposed to be shitty and generic. I mean bravo, he did that.
