well said.. that's what he exactly does for each and every album. its unfair to judge any music album will just few hearings. agreed some songs are instantly catchy but there are plenty of examples where songs grow on you. so be ur own judge, allow ARRs songs settle in you and never care about anyone has to say about the album (esp. if its -ve).
btw, blue ROCKS.. yaar mila tha sayyan is the pick for the album so far. great tune, arrangement and vocals are just brilliant! signature ARR track.
