In my opinion ATM is just another album like ARR's past albums... - You need to listen at least twice to appreciate the beauty. - After the second listening you will not stop listening. - Has the signature of the master craftsman written all over it. - Has a good mix of genres (Folk, Pop, Rap/Funk, Indian Classical, Rock, Electronica, a little of Bhangra, whew...). - Has got the best out of the singers. - Makes you wonder how this man continues to beat your expectations for so long non-stop.
One difference that I have observed in this album is the nature of the fast paced songs. Normally, ARR's fast paced songs have a fast rhythm but the song actually is slow. For example, if you sing a fast paced song without the instruments, you will be singing it slowly, but that is not the case in ATM. There are some instances where the lyrics move as fast as the song's pace. I had observed this even in Ballelakka, but it was more prominent in this album.
