IR's New albums - Ver 2008

What IR wants badly is this - reaching the people. If atleast 2 songs of Dhanam reaches people well, I would be more happy about it than any MX which only the fans talk about in a remote forum !

Exactly.

I never meant that MX was bad , but saying that the jazz number in that is world class is a bit too much.

The main problem with IR is kind of sychopahncy that surround him from his fans, co workers and every one in the Industry. Why? Isn't there any one there to call a spade a spade? No body has tried it. I am sure expose IR to what he has been doing for last many year you will get back the IR many are longing for.

As sloshed said, that Synth instru should be sent some where out of universe.

Patrons of great music from IR have no-where to go but to accept what ever IR dishes out these days as music. They also have a block in their mind set that there is no music beyond IR. Problem for HC fans for IR is that they do not know to enjoy the diverse style of TFM and hence have to swallow music like UO and numerous other film music that IR has been giving for last many years. I do not have problem with their swallowing, but after you swallow if you claim that those hard rocks are the best one available to man kind to cherish, I cannot bear that.

Some one needs to push IR. Bala, Kamal were able to do that to an extend, but that is not enough. IR has long ceased to be a self starter. IR of 80s still rules the radios and fm channels, but IR of todayis still in the race (should have quit in 90s itself) and his career graph is going steeper and steeper day by day.

7 pages in 2 days for the sound track of movie Dhanam!!! Thats amazing.I haven't listened to them yet, so i can't comment on that.

Anyway , about IR going down or north, it doesnt matter. he has not been in the race from mid 90's. AS most of IR fans here, i want some good quality songs from him, Thats it.

And how on earth some of you guys are expectin IR to come out with scintilating numbers for every movie. common guys we are not in 80's.

Moreover if the movie/director can extract some good tunes from IR , no one can stop it. Did virumaandi/Pithaa magan/Julie Ganapathy etc disappointed you?

So guys , dont expect much for an avg movie, then you will get much more disappoined. rather just listen to the songs with open mind.

I cant stop repeating this, for the people who criticizing IR's recent works, IR had given the answer long back in late 90's to a reporter when he asked "why your recent songs are not as good as your 80's songs"

IR " oru thadava thirumba nalla kettu parunga!"

I am a HC IR fan , but i am listening to TFM, arabic, african, Hip Hop, Reggae, Funk, Pop, Rap, World music. Still I dont have any trouble to listen/enjoy recent good numbers from IR.

It doesnt mean, that we dont have any other options, if you find something good in IR's tune, whats the problem in enjoyin it?

As you have the rights to claim that IR's recent numbers are mediocre then i also have the right to call it as a great tune.But the problem here is generalizing our opinion.every one have their own taste. so i can't claim that Dhanam has to be cherished by everyone, and the same applies to you, that you are not supposed expect everyone to condemn IR for his work in Dhanam.

Many HC IR fans real problem is they can't go beyond 80s songs. They are always expecting such kind of songs. They simple don't realize during 80s Top film project were in IR's hand but now? any top hero? any top directors? (except Bala) any top producers? ada atha vidunga any good film he has done at recent times? Even highly acclaimed Cheran failed miserable both getting good songs and delivering good film :banghead:. New directors have to learn from BR, MR, Kamal, KB, Mahendran how to extract good music but before they badly need to know how to film a good script.

A fan will be happy if IR give good music whatever project he accpets or if he don't compatible with this he should be selective and should away from his jalras from film industry. He has to avoid to listen "Anne namba paiyannae neengathan music pottu kodukkanum", etc.

Also I wonder why he is not concentrating to compose music beyond films? Fund problem? or he need somebody or something to invoke?. Mr. Raaja we need pure musical albums like HTNI, NBW, etc, if you will do we behind you

After two days of listening,

I am not able to pick the best from Ilamai kanavugal, Kannanukku and Unakkulle !! All the three are awesome

The "na na na.." humming in Ilamai is amazing ! :2thumbsup:


The regrets in the album is "Dhanam dhanam.." for its childish lyrics and IR rendering "Koothu onnu" ( indha stage-la avar idhai avoid panniyirukkalaam )

:roll: well thinking about what you've said, it still reads as if this were your problem, not the problem of HC fans - if you have some equally good food to cherish (than the stale UO rock that HCs cherish) well dare to place it before them - share - convince - prove it - dont just lament that 'I cannot bear that' ! Instead, you have a healthy choice of showing HC IR fans that something better exisits. Well then, eagerly looking forward to you talking about your non-IR music explorations which were better than stale UO rock food that we have been eating of late :lol:

Three excellent tracks. A treat to IR fans.

After reading the positive posts and inspite of giving it a very careful multiple hearings I couldnt find anything nice about this album.I really cannot understand whats all the fuss about a very average album by IR. Forget comparisons with his eighties albums, I will any day appreciate if IR comes up with something like Madhu. But I find this(dhanam) album totally mediocre.

Karthik's song is very good. Classical "Kannanukku" and painful "Kattilukku" are the best tracks IMO.

Rest aren't that good. :(
