Why It Rocks

 * 1) This is the epic culmination of the Vacation era of Multiverse and Friends, after tons of atrocious episodes, the writers decided to team up to make the best episode of season 12, as well the best episode of this downfall.
 * 2) Even Dorn Aduls, a writer who was new to the Multiverse franchise, learned a lot about the franchise and decided to do his best on this episode.
 * 3) The concept of a music competition, while not original, it's done very well to the point of being outstanding.
 * 4) The episode manages to balance the serious tone and humor to the point they don't badly clash with each other. That's one of the main reasons why it was beloved.
 * 5) Speaking of it, it is by far one of the most serious episodes of the entire show.
 * 6) Despite being 130 minutes, it is well paced, with most of the scenes actually contributing to the plot.
 * 7) All the characters that were flanderized were reverted to their original personalities.
 * 8) Luz reverted back to her original personality and became even more likeable, as she decided to be very helpful. The same applies to Amity.
 * 9) Tons of great songs were used (see the list of songs used in the episode).
 * 10) Excellent direction by Fred Dungles and (surprisingly) Dorn Aduls.
 * 11) Good moral: Never cheat in a competition, as you will get consequences doing that.
 * 12) The rivals, rather than being stereotypical rivals who are usually considered the best bands in the resident when in reality they cheat, are very well-developed, as they are just as normal the crew's band and their reason for the competition is actually good.
 * 13) Most of the performances (especially the one for the It Ain't Me song) are great, as they're the main highlight of the episode.P
