Exactly. Anyone who is not predetermined to dislike this album would start liking these songs, all songs, in first days hearing. This is not an album that would need growing to get liked. > This hasnt happened to me since Lagaan.. I don't know. I feel that ARR's most of the recent albums are indeed likeable in first few hearings, even in the very first hearing. Yuvraj is one album in a long time which takes some half a dozen hearing to get liked. -- V > --- In [email protected], "Chord" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Why?
