Jon Matteson is underrated ngl I feel like I don't see people talking about him often enough!! Although tbf I don't think he's sung on his own that much in Starkid musicals but just from the little bit we got in TGWDLM I was blown away!
2:39 is SO underrated AGH Curt's made my heart ache with that melody. Edit: Also yes everything Dylan Saunders sings is gold and 90% of the time I start crying when he opens his mouth, what an incredible voice
It’s what makes Black Friday so interesting to pick apart and think about. If you laid out the story and bullet-point where each song would go along with basic summaries of those songs’ purpose and point, it really wouldn’t be that good. But the songs themselves are genuinely so good! Monsters and Men, on paper, is just… what, “the sidest of side characters sing a song that says we need to stop the bad guy”? That’s basically nothing, and McNamara should’ve had a singing part at the end of Lex’s Black Friday instead. But Jeff and Curt go so FUCKING HARD ON MONSTERS AND MEN IT BECOMES SO HARD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT!
i’m so glad to see some firebringer love here. like it has it problems but from a harmonic construction standpoint firebringer is easily the best starkid musical for me. every chord is so crunchy and complex, and i love how it lets itself really relish in those deeper notes.
“oh huh i need to rewatch firebringer” “man i need to rewatch black friday” “ahh hm i need to rewatch avps” “oh man i need to rewatch tgwdlm” “oh i need to rewatch holy musical b@man” “oh i need to rewatch-
