I feel the album is different and of good quality. I felt disappointed when I heard for the first time. But, it kinda grows on you and it has some surprises. It is a album for the movie rather than otherwise. That way is thoroughly enjoyable and will make a great impact when we watch the movie. I dont know why 4 songs is an issue and why the theme music is not mentioned anywhere here. I think they are more than theme music ... seems like more of a bg score collection. It sounds great. Already can visualise some of the movie wth this score but IR might have some surprises there. This is quite different from songs with commercially available loop which we are presented with by many MDs. I think this is a must buy album just for the usage of instruments and composition.

Completely agree. Hope they will resolve the price issue and release the CD soon.

theme music 2- 3.24 mins this takes us deep into some mystery and adventure and while we are at it stupified, gives us a breath of fresh air and journeys into calmness and love and a feeling of alls well that ends well

I know I am going to get flamed but sorry to say this, I never expected this from IR!

its Quiet normal for the kids to make fun of national songs and anthems as Kbee said. Its only after when we grow up we understand the meaning of nation etc.,
Till then its only 'Vandhemaatharam varudhae moo...am' or 'janaganamangadhi keezha vuluntha enna gadhi' :D
So there is nothing wrong in kamal and IR butchering this songs as the scene would ve demanded.

You got the habit of liking IR compostions after some time and ARR's compostiion immtly. You are indeed different As its IR's songs which catch immtly and its ARR's songs which grow on people :wink: you said the same about Pithamgan and Virumaandi at the beggining now it seems you ve changed your opinion about them in some other thread. I know youll say MX was one of IR's best in a couple of years from now :D
