However bgm is not thalaivar's as usual. Some western film score has been used in place. Interesting film, seems pretty violent.
Raju Shanbag after listening to alot of recent high quality renditions from Sonu Nigam,Udit Narayan and kunal ganjawala
might have found some proper pronounciations and natural sounds very difficult to understand.Thankfully he showed mercy to acknowledge that 'Ilaiyaraaja is back' after nudging him outwith the first song
How is this fella reviewing songs when he cannot find the innovative flow in om sivoham? How do these people even become reviewers?
The songs are online, finally!

My take after listening to the complete songs:
1) Muthuthu: The rhythm, beats and the way the chorus sings "thuthu" are all in sync. The shehnai kind of sound in the interlude is nicely done. Bela, although sounds nasal, is ok. IR is certainly not comfortable in singing high pitches.
2) Mudhalane: The flow of this song and the orchestration is really good. Even the second interlude is neat. The way Bela ends 2nd charanam is not as impressive as the way SPB ends the 1st charanam. Does not keep up with the way music mellows down. SPB strains a little in high pitches (when he repeats pallavi (high pitch portion) at the end), otherwise he is great.
3) Dhinna: Did not get that impressed with this song.
4) Hey Mamu: Decent song for the situation. Catchy pallavi with some voice/bass portions overlaps. Also to note is the first arabian flovour interlude. Good singing by Karthik, Tippu and Vijay Jesudas.
5) Devadhi Deva: Good one, but certainly not in the league of "Vedham" song.
6) Oh shiva hum: The way SPB starts "om shivo hum" along the same pitch as chorus is a nice touch. The second interlude has nice jelling of chants, tribal sounds and some rural sounds. This "om shivo hum" is still not as electrifying as "Om shiva hum" of naan kadavul.
7) Enidu: As I suspected, it is sung by Sriram and he has sung it nicely. Song has a nice tune and equally nice orchestration to go with. The only thing I did not like is the differently paced charanam beginnings and the beats associated with it. IR has done this before as well. Bela shende sometimes struggles to keep up with the language and the tune.
IR has used Bele Shende a lot. He is testing her range and skills, I guess. But she is way short of Shreya Ghosal. My picks are muthuthu, enidu and mudhalane.

Muthuthu - along the lines of 'punnnagaiyil minsaram' (Bharathan) - IR's voice in high pitches is embarassing - the synth percussions sound good - wud have been better if IR had added some high energy with real percussion as well
De nadanaana - awful synth usage - but might become popular in kannada
hey mamu - sounds like rehash from an IR telugu song from the 1980s/1990s - the interludes are a relief - but there is an unwanted/irritating plucking sound in the second interlude - a bored IR must have said "andha 'plunk/plunk' sounda konjam add pannunga'- (
om shivoham - complex song/beats/rhythms - I liked the way the 'thavil' has been used during the charanam and the 'urumi' in the second interlude - a slightly neo-version of 'ghanashyama' (in terms of constantly changing percussion rhythms) - cud become a cult hit in Karnataka
enidhu - wow! beautiful flute prelude and strings in the first interlude beginning and again the flute - this track has shades of "kallai irudhen" (Uliyin osai)
odhalane - classic IR - everything perfect, the use of the veena in the second interlude needs special mention
overall, IMHO, despite the synth glitches, this album will be a hit in Kannada a la, Nammoora mandara hoove - depends on how well the movie does as well
IR is riding a big wave so far, in 2009!
I hope the reason for the wave could be some big non filmi thing he is cooking up secretly. andha maadhiri edhaavadhu shock kuduththu asathuvarnnu ninaikiren.
