Hi All, My suggestion before commenting on any ARR album: Please dont give any comments for the first initial one or two weeks.. Listen two weeks and then give the feedback... --- On Sat, 24/4/10, Sathya Sundaram <[email protected]> wrote:

To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, 24 April, 2010, 8:20 PM AJ, I am also seeing lot of positive reactions on the net, but there are also negative remarks...the fact i am unable to digest is that there is no instantly hummable tune in this album. Kata Kata had huge expectations from me, but this song sounds to me like a fun song with lot of variations in beat and singing. the structure and variation being changed in AR's songs is seen nowadays a lot. It irritates the listener and makes him think that where the song is going. Beera is good but short. lot of beera beera repetitions, they could have made the song longer with 2 stanzas. I have bn following ARR form 92 so i am used to this initial not liking, and then getting impressed. But still, I feel this album is a disappointment. It makes me wonder whether is this the combination which gave "Vellai pookal", "pachai nirame", "Dilse", "Bombay", "thiruda thiruda" to the world.

I respect your initial impressions, but please give it some time and try to avoid conclusive statements for now. This album is not going to be liked by everyone. You're right, the song melodies and structures for the most part are complex and not straightforward, which may not be everyone's preference. Some pretty extreme first impressions I'm seeing on the net...but, most comments are positive and many saying it's one of ARR's finest works. --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, Sathya Sundaram <satsun...@. ..> wrote: > > Heard the songs about 4 times with the Original CD of Raavan today.

May be I will like it with more hearings. Very Average score by ARR for a Mani movie. Expected a lot out of this. This may be the weakest of all ARR-Mani (weaker than Guru) combos. > > - Sathya >
