I'm disappointed and sad that in general this yahoogroup seems to be unable to take any criticism of Rahman in its stride.
Good fans will not accept poor quality music and still convince themselves that it is good. Good fans will also not berate people who make fair criticism of Rahman's music. Its obvious that the reviews for The Rising have been mixed on indiafm, rediff and all the other major websites. Despite that, the moment someone sends a critique here, people jump on him and berate him. I'm a big fan of Rahman's music and know almost all his songs by heart. I don't even listen to any other Hindi/Tamil music composer. However, even I can sense a relatively poor performance when I hear one. Even Rahman will probably admit that The Rising wasn't his best work. Ofcourse, it might well be that the movie demanded Rahman to make such "situational" music. But on a purely musical basis, its obvious to me that the Rising doesn't quite cut it. My advice to some of the members here : Please remain fans, don't become fanatics. - Aanand.
