This post is less of a complaint and more out of curiosity What exactly do you want in Rahman's music that you are not hearing in his music today? Please be specific like in terms of instrumentation, sound, melody, harmony, percussion, etc. I'm really curious to know, because I hear this with each and every single Rahman release in the past several years. The tone of many reviewers also is revealing, as if they're thinking, "Rahman composed this song or this style of music? HOW COULD HE? It's so beneath him! He can do better than this! Not at all up to his standards!" Karthik's milliblog review of Ghajini has the same exact tone, like "HOW COULD HE?" It's like if ARR doesn't come up with a Jodha Akbar each time with semi classical music, the soundtrack is not up to his standards, and some even said that JA was not up to his standards!
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and to express it, fine. But, I'm curious to know exactly what you are missing in Rahman's music today. Take the albums he has released in 2008. If ARR is not living up to his own standards in 2008, why? Please explain in detail!
