also i had an entire NPMD comp in the works but i ended up finishing this first [its shorter lmao] so i might dump that on this channel too if i ever finish it [i will. im in my insane era] edit;; guess who finished it HAHAHSKD
@@DiscipleAsh haha its about halfway done, i tend to work on comps when im bored and then put them up to rewatch when im feeling blue [theres! actually another comp on the channel but its unlisted] so i probably will post the NPMD one too
So true, I had to rewatch the first two hatchetfield musicals to really get into some of the songs, but for NPMD I was immediately hooked on the songs.
Also the production is great. Black Friday for example has bad issues with mixing and the audio just not sounding great on the live version (but OST is like... amazing). But NPMD's mixing is on POINT
The only song that's a bit iffy is 'Bully the Bully' (specifically the part where they're all like 'Ahhhh!') but that's only in the live version, everything is really solid otherwise!
holy shit I thought I was alone I hate and simultaneously love the song WHY IS IT TO FUCKING GOOD I CANT HANDLE ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE THOUGH AS IM ALSO ACE
I agreed with the message of Black Friday but I still asked for a chibi Wiggly doll for Christmas last year. Starkid knows how to make you question your morals lol
@@crazycatladystudios the bigger irony is that my favorite song in black friday is “made in America,” a villain song with some principles I completely agree with (and feel like the complete opposite of “our doors are open”)
I love Lauren she's so talented. Even though it wasn't my fave song I will always love her acting skills in it and how she pretends to be Ruth being the character and then Ruth being Ruth, she's just so good the subtle changes are so good
I love that everytime General McNamara (the best character in the series) is on screen you can hear America Is Great Again (the best song in the series) in the background
I've said it before and I'll say it again, NPMD has the strongest vocals of any Starkid production I've seen. Everyone was on their A-game and all of the songs fit their voices so nicely. I think the only song from a show by a NPMD actor better than their songs in NPMD is Angela. She's stunning always, but her performance in Friday is Black for Me is just peak use of her voice type imo. Dylan I don't have as much to compare to since all of his other SK stuff is much older, but his performance in all of Black Friday, especially his solos, were some of my favorite parts of the show vocally. TGWDLM is a super fun show, but not many of the vocals really blew me out of the water other than Mariah. What I would really love to see is Jon re-record Let it Out after he did all that vocal training for NPMD, like the original was rad of course, but with Jon's improvement now he'd probably kill it even harder. I realize now that this comment is very long, but I just have too many thoughts lol.
Angela is a power alto and we don't get much of those in musical theater. Mostly the sopranos (like Mariah, Jaime, Lauren and Jeff [lmao]) take the spot light. Also, Angela's solo in Black Friday is just called Black Friday.
I'm pretty sure for some parts they dubbed in the cast recordings. Sometimes the audio feels too processed and perfect for it to be the actual live performances. The 'hungry for more' bit in Dirty Girl for example sounds exactly the same as the recording. Same with the ending of Literal Monster.
Such a shame that Angela's intro to Starkid was when everyone was sick (Black Friday). I knew her vocals were good, but NPMD absolutely floored me with her voice. The opening of Bully the Bully?! Holy shit how did she do that
Nerdy Prudes Must Die is the one for me. The show that breaks through that glass ceiling of “wait this goes hard,” the one that fucking destroys me on every single level like Twisted does for others. One of my favorite shows ever made, a perfect culmination of all the Hatchetfield content beforehand while being a fantastic standalone piece. Like oh my god I am forever slain by this masterpiece
I wish starkid revisited musicals bc I think a lot of their old works would greatly benefit from their new budget and the improvements of the actors and their singing abilities (I am staring Hard at starship & MAMD) not to say their old stuff is bad bc it still holds up!! they never disappoint and I’m so glad that you can see starkid’s evolution of budget and skill throughout the hatchetfield series specifically, I love these nerds so much
SO HAPPY TO SEE "WHAT TIM WANTS" AND "IF I FAIL YOU" APPRECIATION, THOSE SONGS MADE ME SOB SO HARD I LOVE HIS VOICE, HIS DELIVERY IS SO BEAUTIFUL EVERY TIME HE SINGS
tgwdlm is fucking wild because no matter how many times i see jon sing in other musicals, or even singing as paul in black friday, that "NEVERRRRRRR" fucks me up every time. like it ALWAYS feels horribly wrong, the fact that he finally broke. it's BEAUTIFUL it is a BEAUTIFUL note in a BEAUTIFUL musical and i ADORE it and i am going FUCKING INSANE do NOT let the fact that this is not in all caps fool you. i am using all caps in spirit.
i was always a little disappointed that we didn't get any emma screams in the album recording of inevitable because they just add so much more to the song for me
i get that but i always take the song as Tom explaining to the audience his motivations and how far he would go for his son even if things have been hard and strained since his mother died (i guess i also don’t see it as traumadumping either since emma’s dialogue before leading up to them getting inside already explains that jane died - but i see your point about it being a lot to dump on somebody)
Istg angela needs more recognition like this cus she doesnt get enough credit for her vocals, SHES POWER ALTO FGS and as someone else said they r rare in musical theater (annoyingly 😒). Black friday made me cry and get goosebumps, she KILLED IT in dirty girl and THE HELD NOTE after she sang the line “this is the consequence of what u doneeeee” is just chefs kiss. Thank you for this vid cus every moment u put is hella accurate, probs more but this really showcased the sk cast’s talent ❤️
You nailed all my favorites but pls also consider the final chord of "Hatchet Town" (the overlay of all their voices slays me) and the beginning of "Made In America" (because Joey goes bass and I lose my goddamn mind)
i realistically couldn’t put the whole song (i love hatchet town so much i wanted to put the whole thing HAHAJDDJ) but the voices coming together like that sounds so fuckin good
I am so obsessed with Black Friday, I don't care if some of the vocals are rough it lives in my brain rent-free. Tom's whole first song makes me sob, because it's a PERFECT expression of a man at the end of his fuckin rope trying to do something, ANYTHING to make the most important person in his life happy. Tom is an asshole, but he's my favorite Hatchetfield character hands-down because of this peek into his heart and his incredibly powerful love for his son.
my only issue with this is that you didnt put the "hey mr business, how do ya, how do ya, how do ya dooooooooo?" from cup of poisoned coffee bc that shit is SO GOOD imo
you know what. that and the can i get a triple for you line IS really good. i just prefer poison cup so much that i forget to consider the original sometimes
We lose between a third and half of artists through them messing up behind the scenes... Extremely frustraiting, that one can never quite enjoy something without being prepared the person making the art being an ahole or monster
What tim wants and if i fail you are such good songs dylan is so talented. Tbh i dont have all of the black friday songs on my playlist but those two are for sure on there
Ugh this is such a good highlight of the best vocals, got reminded of so many I liked (totally forgot how hard jeff goes with the “I don’t know what you’ve been told / but Americans should fit a mold” moment??? Wild)
i would recommend Starship if you like sci-fi alien stuff, Twisted if you like comedy and disney parody, The three in this video (in reverse order of when they’re shown haha) for comedy and also spooky weird occult shit, Ani but only if you like star wars and parodies like…a decent amount haha, The Trail to Oregon is also good if you like comedy and fun music and my brain is blanking on the others i’ve watched but ! they’re there
I would say that What Tim Wants doesn't rate very highly for me because the lyrics feel a bit generic and boring to me compared to most starkid songs, I still think the delivery is absolutely beautiful. I don't think I dislike any of the hatchetfield songs and I still adore Black Friday but of the trilogy it's probably my least favourite as it just feels a bit more lacking conpared to the rest. I go absolutely crazy to some of the songs but knowing what starkid is capable of one or two of them feel a bit basic?
I keep watching these compilations (mostly just for the Jon Matteson clips..) and I am so ill about all of the hatchetfield content aahhsgdgfhhfjgjgj I love them
NPMD is so so incredible, there's not a single song that doesn't get stuck in my head on the daily, every single one lives rent free in there. And I loved TGWDLM. For some reason I couldn't get into Black Friday though. Idk, it just feels like the weakest of the Hatchetfield trilogy for me. The songs don't do it for me, the acting felt less impressive than the others.. I dunno.
I saw someone point out that Black Friday didn't have a very distinct sound for the songs, like a prominent instrument that carried through most of the songs or a similar style. It's still good but ends up feeling a little generic.
yea i feel the same way, the songs just feel kinda incohesive? like in both TGWDLM and NPMD (especially NPMD) there is *at least* two songs that just grab you and are immediately recognizable (I say at least two because i haven't seen the entirety of TGWDLM yet but I'd recognize A Cup of Roasted Coffee and Let It Out anywhere). they have a clear rhythm and melody which I feel the songs in Black Friday really lack. Even after multiple rewatches I can't remember any of the songs, only a few individual parts of them
I'm not a fan of what Tim wants, but it isn't the song that's the problem. The song is fine and Dylan is amazing, but the execution of it on stage just makes me uncomfortable when i watch it. Personally, the coversation at Tom's house wasn’t keeping my attention, and the song right after was a slow ballad. I count it as the first song in the show, because the first one is an in universe commercial, and as a first song it really brings down the vibe. With no choreography and an actor just singing at the audience, it felt way too soon; it would have had a bigger impact a song or two later. I know it was an "I want" song, but it didn't have that much of an impact on me, i didn't feel like i learned much about him and i still didn't feel like he was a sympathetic character. Maybe it's just me, but i wasn’t sold on him until later.
If you watch NPMD it's obvious that they spliced together video from multiple performances, and the audio is either a studio recording or the best bits from each of the individual tapings. The mixing sounds too perfect to me (especially the background vocals, i love starkid but their blending has never been the best). You can even hear a difference between NPMD and TGWDLM between the mixing and I don't think it's simply a difference between budget and equipment and the actors improving over the years
.... And tgats why the life and studio variants sound really different, especially in black frieday, wher almost everyone was noticabley sick... Makes sense
![It's Starkid Innit? [Full Show YouTube Edit]](/img/n.gif)
also i had an entire NPMD comp in the works but i ended up finishing this first [its shorter lmao] so i might dump that on this channel too if i ever finish it [i will. im in my insane era]

NPMD is absolutely their finest work vocally, I love that whole show there isn’t a song where the vocals or music disappoints. Great comp.
i fully agree ! it’s actually their first show where every song hits for me so i really really like it
So true, I had to rewatch the first two hatchetfield musicals to really get into some of the songs, but for NPMD I was immediately hooked on the songs.

meh, I'd say 'dirty girl' wasn't that good
NPMD Lauren's solo KILLS me bc its Ruth realizing she can sing and has a shot at actually being in a show. It's PAINFUL
jon's voice was never bad but my god he killed his nerdy prudes vocals
JON MATTESON VOCAL GLO UP FOR NPMD?? this is why we stan
his practice REALLY shows, and i loved him in TGWDLM alone - so NPMD was massively fun for me haha
Dude! When I was live reacting to NPMD in my sibling group chat, the first thing I said was, “Wow!! Jon’s vocals have gotten so great!”
The main reason his voice sounded as it did in TGWDLM is because he had little to no warm up during
I'm ashamed to say as a sex-repulsed asexual that dirty girl is one of my favorite hatchetfield songs it's so good
As a fellow sex-repulsed asexual, I say OWN IT - DIRTY GIRL IS SUCH A BOP FRFR!!😤😤 it's genuinely my favourite song from NPMD lmfaoo😭🤣
ME TOOOOO that song is killing me because it sounds so good but.. dirty soup 😭
Bro I literally have to psyche myself up to listen to it. Cause on one hand- the song? 👌 but on the other hand… eugh
holy shit I thought I was alone I hate and simultaneously love the song WHY IS IT TO FUCKING GOOD I CANT HANDLE ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE THOUGH AS IM ALSO ACE
I'm not sex repulsed but I am ace and RAHH I LOVE THAT SONG SO MUCH
“darkness will spare my soul” reverberates in my bones
I hate how feral “our doors are open” makes me go considering how I feel about holiday captialism
For real!! I mean, shopper therapy is definitely real... and I mean, Corey👀😂
I agreed with the message of Black Friday but I still asked for a chibi Wiggly doll for Christmas last year. Starkid knows how to make you question your morals lol
At least you can appreciate the irony in which it was written. It's like loving a villain song even if you don't agree with their principles.
@@crazycatladystudios the bigger irony is that my favorite song in black friday is “made in America,” a villain song with some principles I completely agree with (and feel like the complete opposite of “our doors are open”)
@@lawrencefosterjenkins8216 lmao literally
I’m so glad for the Just For Once appreciation!! Lauren fucking GRILLED it
Upvoted for pun
I love Lauren she's so talented. Even though it wasn't my fave song I will always love her acting skills in it and how she pretends to be Ruth being the character and then Ruth being Ruth, she's just so good the subtle changes are so good
Honestly… when I first watched through NPMD the goosebumps hit so damn hard
Joey's "WHEN YOU'RE MADE IN AMERICAAAA" rewired something in my brain. i'm not even american but holy SHIT
I will NEVER forget Bryce Charles’ part from Hatchetown. It will be engraved in my brain until I die
I love that everytime General McNamara (the best character in the series) is on screen you can hear America Is Great Again (the best song in the series) in the background
i now tend to get hype when i hear it just because i associate it with him haha

I love that no matter who you are, no matter how you were raised, as long as you live in Hatchetfield, you, without fail, fucking hate Clivesdale
Such a shame that Angela's intro to Starkid was when everyone was sick (Black Friday). I knew her vocals were good, but NPMD absolutely floored me with her voice. The opening of Bully the Bully?! Holy shit how did she do that
"its called ptsd-eeeee" gets stuck in my head so much lmao
Sorry for spamming your video btw lmao I'm hyper fixated on hatchetfield

i get chills every time. and the studio recorded version is just as good too. gets me so bad man
ME TOO 😭

dude i would fucking kill for a cleanly shot Starship
'I used to dance' is just so heartbreaking i love it
The I used to dance is so incredibly sad
Fr it pulls on my heartstrings every time
I can’t believe i only now noticed that the “if i can finally be cool” motif is in that just for once section
I didn’t notice until I read this comment! I read this at the exact time it played.
NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THIS
SO HAPPY TO SEE "WHAT TIM WANTS" AND "IF I FAIL YOU" APPRECIATION, THOSE SONGS MADE ME SOB SO HARD I LOVE HIS VOICE, HIS DELIVERY IS SO BEAUTIFUL EVERY TIME HE SINGS
SAME 😭
I can't believe there isnt a fucking bad song in NPMD. Like how??? How so good????

i was always a little disappointed that we didn't get any emma screams in the album recording of inevitable because they just add so much more to the song for me
Every video that includes footage from NPMD should end with: HAHAHAHAHA SPUNK
And that's not an opinion, it's a fact
I was always a fan of Kendall's vocals during What If Tomorrow Comes especially considering how young she was
I’m personally also a fan of Curt’s “who knew football’s a team game” from NPMD (go go nighthawks)
i don’t know how to describe it other than it’s he sang it like. very smooth and pretty and it itches my brain very well
13:02 JON FUCKING MATTESON KILLED THIS . IM IN LOVE .
the amount of emotion when richie screams i’m not a loser🥲😭
jaime's 'TO DIEEEEEEEEE' makes me ascend honestly
i remember the CANDY AND RAINBOWS! no hatred, only halos!✨
What Tim Wants is so underrated! Dylan absolutely killed the vocals and it's a heartwrenching song.
Yeah, but ut is also tge I want song, which usually is the character introduction
i think the issue with What Tim Wants is that it's the introduction to the character. its like a person you just met trauma dumping on you
i get that but i always take the song as Tom explaining to the audience his motivations and how far he would go for his son even if things have been hard and strained since his mother died (i guess i also don’t see it as traumadumping either since emma’s dialogue before leading up to them getting inside already explains that jane died - but i see your point about it being a lot to dump on somebody)
"its like a person you just met trauma dumping on you" Exposition 101. It's a feature, not a bug.
That’s how musicals work, yes.

The “I used to dance” at the end of Just For Once AHHHHHHHH the way Lauren makes that delivery so heartbreaking
You don't know the feeling of having your coworkers walking in on you singing Let It Out and The Summoning
Angela never ceases to amaze me with her range because nothing will ever be more impressive than playing both Grace and Lex (and she slayed both)
You nailed all my favorites but pls also consider the final chord of "Hatchet Town" (the overlay of all their voices slays me) and the beginning of "Made In America" (because Joey goes bass and I lose my goddamn mind)
i realistically couldn’t put the whole song (i love hatchet town so much i wanted to put the whole thing HAHAJDDJ) but the voices coming together like that sounds so fuckin good
I always go back to NPMD just to hear Jon sing “I’m deaaaaad,” then I end up watching the whole thing 😭
absolutely floored that dylan’s “i want you to come here so we can play” harmony with kim isn’t in here that is just perfect it scratches the brain
@@morgancahill7169 it was supposed to be ! i just moved it out of the render timeline while resorting and forgot to move it back 😭😭
THE WAY THAT I AGREE WITH ALL OF THIS IS INSANE (Let It Out and almost every song in NPMD are so just too good) 😶
angela's evolution from black friday to npmd is absolutely fucking crazy, i'm so proud of her :)
I am so obsessed with Black Friday, I don't care if some of the vocals are rough it lives in my brain rent-free.

Tom is an asshole, but he's my favorite Hatchetfield character hands-down because of this peek into his heart and his incredibly powerful love for his son.
They're each so talented already but their harmonies specifically are always transcendently satisfying.
Joeys and mariahs voices fit so well together
the part in if i fail you where he sings about jane makes me ugly sob, actually all of if i fail you and what tim wants make me ugly sob
you guys don't seem to understand that if he gets me next that could literally be three
At 2:00
You were right not to include that awkward “aaaaaaa” note right before the “conserve your mass” part lmao
my only issue with this is that you didnt put the "hey mr business, how do ya, how do ya, how do ya dooooooooo?" from cup of poisoned coffee bc that shit is SO GOOD imo
you know what. that and the can i get a triple for you line IS really good. i just prefer poison cup so much that i forget to consider the original sometimes
It's a shame Robert ended up being so shitty as a person, he was so talented.

Extremely frustraiting, that one can never quite enjoy something without being prepared the person making the art being an ahole or monster
HATCHET TOWN IS THE BEST SOMG IN NPMD I LOVE IT SO MUCH
I also would listent to the cast recordings of alls theses, especially black Friday since most of the cast were sick in the filmed version
i constantly listen to the cast recordings from their shows, the NPMD and TGWDLM cast recordings are some of my favourites though
The way I do the choreography for Hatchet Town sometimes when listening to it like it’s that catchy
Yesss I love What Tim Wants so much
What tim wants and if i fail you are such good songs dylan is so talented. Tbh i dont have all of the black friday songs on my playlist but those two are for sure on there

You are a funny skele'on
every song is my favorite until the next one plays...
will branner BROUGHT it during literal monster
YESSS incredible compilation!!
maybe i should actually watch starkid musical. i only know of em bc of angela (i love smosh) and the spiderman musical
i would recommend Starship if you like sci-fi alien stuff, Twisted if you like comedy and disney parody, The three in this video (in reverse order of when they’re shown haha) for comedy and also spooky weird occult shit, Ani but only if you like star wars and parodies like…a decent amount haha, The Trail to Oregon is also good if you like comedy and fun music and my brain is blanking on the others i’ve watched but ! they’re there
Hell Yeah I love "what time wants" and I'm always sad that it never gets a mention!
these harmonies make me feel so happy 3:51

NPMD is honestly the best musically since Firebringer and no one can change my mind
YES.
Absolutely.
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
just realized that. u did not mean for this to break containment. oopsie. i’m just Losing It over hatchetfield trilogy as usual
@@x-ca1iberHAJDBSJ ITS OK. i figured i would let my insanity be public this time
2 THINGS, NO WAY CHARLETTE HELD THAT NOT FOR ASLONG AS SHE DID, AND AFTER I WATCHED TGWDLM I WAS OBSESSED WITH NOT YOUR SEED
I don’t like listening to Dirty girl (demisexual who’s only realized recently) but it bops. All the NPMD songs do.
I would say that What Tim Wants doesn't rate very highly for me because the lyrics feel a bit generic and boring to me compared to most starkid songs, I still think the delivery is absolutely beautiful.

it’s too bad a lot if not most are them lip-syncing and not singing live. i wish they used the live singing more
What are you talking about, they always sing live during their shows
If you watch NPMD it's obvious that they spliced together video from multiple performances, and the audio is either a studio recording or the best bits from each of the individual tapings. The mixing sounds too perfect to me (especially the background vocals, i love starkid but their blending has never been the best). You can even hear a difference between NPMD and TGWDLM between the mixing and I don't think it's simply a difference between budget and equipment and the actors improving over the years
