@JSynth, I agree that those types are the most prominent, but I believe fiercely in combined efforts. I trust there are those that are focused on telling a story which entertains people. I like focusing on those people, for I believe them to be worth the effort, at least because they also give more effort to provide quality.
@Jokeblue, I'm pretty straightforward on this matter: how many charity albums are there already? Repeatedly releasing charity fundraising albums does not yield the same results as releasing predictable music (music that average people want because they don't know better and are initially afraid of/on edge about unique strange music); music like Big Room House, Trap, and Modern Dubstep. Such music gets interest. Though with charity fundraising albums, Bronies either enter a state of neutralism or dislike, or, since so many charity fundraising albums have been made already without (as regular) different special projects, a state of forced interest. Keep in mind, they are average bronies, uncapable of changing what all those albums will become. When you're not left a choice, and all special albums require money for charity, people are forced to (or, as I said, they walk away). Balloon Party has always been different. It had a refreshing difference: Balloon Party has always, instead of spending music on charity, spent money on unity, the goddamn moral of our being here because we love colorful friendship. If all episodes of MLP were about Twilight having solo adventures, do you think we'd be here hyping over it?
EDIT - In a nutshell, Balloon Party lost uniqueness with becoming a charity fundraising album. I'm personally sick of seeing those kinda albums pop up everywhere. Charity this, charity that, there are plenty already. I don't believe the appeal to Balloon Party will increase one bit because BP is now much more like all other brony albums.
And to add up, we are a community based around music and colorful horses that focus on the magic of friendship. Friendship might be achievable over the internet, but real bonding friendship only happens in real life. If MLP focused on Twilight having solo adventures, I don't think it would've been that much of a hit that it now seemingly is. Pro-unity.
@Artless, you damn magnificent thing, thanks for hyping MLR :) best first post as of yet I say.
