You are very correct. I felt the same too. If these tracks are indeed from Sivaji, I don't wish to comment. I fear the worst.

Sahara I liked this one..but it defnielty needs some more work..as in the previous song..the interludes sound very rushed and highly reminiscent of previous ARR songs...however, the melody is gorgeous!..the choice of udit to sing is defnitely unexpected and it works fairly well...if there is truth to the rumors that the actual versions is more finished and has ARR and chinmayee doing the vocal honors...the song will be fantastic....the overall vibe of the song sounds like "poorkalam engay" fron thenali (GREAT song)...some of the loops sounded similar to "enuyir thozhiyay" from Kangalal Kaidhu Sei (another GREAT song) 3. Oru Koodai Sunlight This song is fairly decent and definitley pumps you up..but the beats sound too much like a Lil' John song....i'm sure some touchign up will do wonders...but the version i heard doesn't have that magic quality which we asscoiate with ARR...it's the type of song that many other MD's can compose...not upto snuff....the singer is awesome though...whoever it is.... VERDICT: dissapointing stuff!....i can't wait till April 4th...i hope the official soundtrack of Sivaji continues the mind boggling track record of ARR+Shankar (considering their previous albums together..more consistent than ARR + Mani Ratnam!)
