I dunno, maybe there's a more cinematic feel or something - perhaps the staff that had been working on the movie came back for season 8 or whatever.

Or it could be how the series is coming full circle - how it's now passing on friendship lessons to the next generation, next group of close friends, but rather than the friends being the same species but just different races, the friends are now all different species (one could plausibly make an argument about it reflecting the increasing diversity in modern life).

Perhaps it's even that the lessons it's teaching and topics/subjects it's breaching are more mature than what came in previous seasons (I especially think of the Brian Hohlfeld episodes - which, probably not coincidentally, are two of my favorites of the season) - as the show's original audience has grown, the show has grown with it.

As far as the songs, though, I couldn't disagree more, I feel the songs in this season, while there are only a few of them, are all great and memorable (the only one I haven't heard yet is the one in Father Knows Beast), which stands in stark contrast to how I feel about the songs in season 7, where I think there are 1, maybe 2 memorable songs ("You're In My Head Like a Catchy Song" for sure, and maybe "Flawless" as well)
