I agree, I also wish they included the other speaking lines.

[@CKracoon]

Its kinda funny how sonata is the most cheery and high-pitched person but she sings to base/tenor vocals

[@zaziaza]

alto*

[@PointsofData]

Bass is a male only pitch, it's extremely deep. Tenor also is a male only term, it describes the highest pitch a man can naturally (generally) sing. Females are sopranos, mezzo sopranos, altos or contraltos. I think contralto and alto both overlap with male ranges tho and contralto is the deepest a woman's voice can naturally (generally) be. I can't pinpoint pitches but I would assume Sonata is an alto, which is lower then tenor, or mezzo soprano, which is a female who can do some soprano notes and some alto notes.

1:17 Thus cord is so good. Really emphasized the whole hypnosis bit with really nice cords and memoirs that the dazzlings used. They may be evil, but they are good at singing.

[@SeanEllisIsBae]

The "good at singing" bit is kind of the point of their characters. They're Sirens, they're supposed to be good at singing to cast their spell. Anyways, I agree that it was a good part, I can always imagine the Hypnosis scene there.

[@rainoftime37]

"Dang the Dazzlings/Sirens are so much better than the Rainbooms ://" ok yeah but that's the entire point. In terms of quality, the Sirens are superior by a landslide, and that's why this was so terrifying for the Rainbooms - but they had no choice but to try and win if it meant freeing their school from the Sirens' control. The Sirens basically sound professional thanks to their magic, while the Rainbooms are literally just a high school band with no real professional training. But of course, as is the moral of the story so many times in MLP, there is something the sirens lack that the Rainbooms don't - it's the magic of friendship. Even though these seven individuals have such different personalities and backgrounds, they were able to come together and make a song derived from having fun and their love for their friends, contrasting heavily with the Sirens' song meant to hypnotize for power. Perhaps in terms of quality, the Dazzlings/Sirens are better. But the Rainbooms don't care. They're not trying to be popular. They're just having fun and want to help their friends. Besides, isn't having fun the most important aspect of creative hobbies like songwriting/singing?

[@ashglasss]

you're so true

[@numbuhbee]

You took the words right out of my mouth.

[@sacrificialnecrosis8435]

ok but like i'm just sayin like i would submit to the dazzlings without them singing

[@thoghtugs584]

Also it's objective opinion, honestly both of them have equally banger songs, personally.

[@numbuhbee]

@@thoghtugs584 for real!!! Like, there’s this one part of sunset’s finale that gives me chills- so I find the poor response to it really saddening.

[@JillLulamoon]

It's been a long time since 2014 but I'm still impressed by how good the Rainbow Rocks soundtrack is. The last part of this song still gives me the chills.

[@catst9927]

I listened to the version of a song where there’s only vocals. I can now never unhear the glitching

[@abigaildenton4263]

When you mentioned about that I started hearing the glitching immediatly

[@twist_ending7545]

Is the glitching intentional?

[@catst9927]

@@twist_ending7545 I would assume so, because it's in the official version and it narratively makes sense. This is a scene where the sirens not only power up, but show their normal forms. I would imagine this was added to emphasize that their human disguise is coming off.

I absolutely love how you can lose yourself in The Dazzlings’ songs, like their siren effect is legitimately there While the Rainbooms have more fun and catchy toons that snaps you out of it and makes you want to dance and feel joy Bravo song makers! :00

[@cindygamer_yt8102]

2:53-3:30 This guitar solo and the vocals of Twilight and Adagio.....Wow 🤩

[@chizknowsdabizyeet7609]

Daniel Ingram unleashed his musical beast in this one. DAMNNN

[@anomaliecosmos]

I'm currently writing a musical that i imagine to be for a teen or even adult audience, but it owes the flow/form of its big climactic number to this one. I'm sure "the good and bad guys trade off, the latter seeming to win before an impactful solo by a struggling/redeemed character changes the course of the battle" isn't UNIQUE to Rainbow Rocks, but this take on it was iconic enough that it's still what i think of.
