Kamal-Ilayaraaja-Singeetham Rao-MUMBAI EXPRESS

"And for those, enjoying ME, does it really matter that someone else does not like the album. How does it even matter? Ignore and just sing the praises."

That's what I have been trying to drill into rajasaranam's head in vain.

Rajasaranam, if you liked ME or other new albums a lot so be it. I never questioned your opinions, did I?. Then why are you bothered about my posts? Seems like you are an insecure fan. I have as much right to post my opinions as you do. There is no rule that only IR's praises should be sung in this thread. I liked portions of ME and have pointed out the ones that I liked and ones that I didnt. I have also given examples of other IR albums from the past that I liked. In the recent past he hasnt given much that I liked.

Idhukkumm mela I dont have to prove anything to you. You have very poor comprehension skills. I never claimed anywhere that I am a critic. I just express my opinions like you do. If that makes me a critic in your book then your posts make you look like a mad fanatic in my book.

balaji,

look he has burst out saying he is not a critic at all. and all these years you had been thinking he was a critic!!! nope. If expressing his opinions makes us think that he is a critic then we are mad fanatics in his books it seems. hmmm.. unga pozhapayum naaradichitaru

Vijayr,
its the duty of an insecure fan to go out finding faults in other MD's compostions to hold his favourite's compostions good.now you know who is insecure :D . I was, not anymore. why dont you grow up too?
you had conveniently evaded some basic questions which i posed to prove that you are an ARR/MSV fanatic. chill out, kool down ponder into your conscience and even after that you feel you are unbiased i salute your adamancy. hats off yaar, duniyaan mein aise aadmi kabhi kabhi milthein hain.

The theme music reminds me a lot of the music pieces from 'Pudhucheri kacheri' from singaravelan...

Anyone else feel so?

aiyo aenpa thread'la bad blood? ME is a very interesting and very different kind of album. Some will appreciate it, some might not like it. I can also see that some just come to this thread to spit venom out of spite But its better that we dont get into a 'moothiram' :D argument with them! And most of all why bring ARR into this thread at all, whether for criticism or praise? This is about ME music and let us keep it at that. As far as 'IR jalra's' are concerned, this is a thread for such people only - IR fans (which includes jalras). Anyone who does not like it can stay away. This is a thread for people who are excited about IR's music. Period.

I also agree with Naga S as far as Virumandi and Karagattakaari are concerned! Just bcos they are of the same mileu does not mean they are of the same quality? The narration for the latter may not have excited the MD on an equal level.

Vijay R any criticism, please put them in context. Have you seen both the movies? How can you even crib that IR has not put in the same amount of effort for both? Just bcos they are of the same mileu does not mean you should expect the same kind quality of music. Please put in a little more thought before accusing others of not putting their mind. :)

guys my appologies. I am the one who invoked the "moothiram". i couldnt tolerate ppl telling that even they can compose better music than IR. my sincere appologies again.

Anyways, I should be neutral too and willing to accept comments / criticism as a matured person as well as a retailer

Kbee, that IS the spirit. It is ridiculous to say that we could make better music than the legend IR. Such statements are made in very poor taste and are best consigned to the bin. They don't deserve any reply from any sane music lover. At the same time it is also ridiculous to opine, for instance, that the song unnai kANavillayE nEtrOdu by ARR was good only because SPB sang it. I hope you understand where I am coming from :)

VijayR, fan paavam pollathathu, paaththu ezhudhunga :)

ok some support for vijay...he has done a lot of service to IR fans (okay atleast for me) by bringing out a lot of very rare IRs gems from 80s in mp3 format...

having said this i have to add that i am not a big fan of his style of putting his criticisms across...

kbee,

Actually arjuna can compose better music than IR...

(just testing ya :-D)

NOM!

Rajasaranam, you havent proven anything here. You havent even read all my posts here in TFMDF in the past few years to come to any conclusion.I dont have time to dig out posts from archives to disprove that I am biased against IR or that I am a MSV/ARRA fan. All I am asking you is to respect others opinions just like how I do yours. Did I criticize you for praising ME or mock your opinions on ME songs? No. Why dont you do the same? And please remove naive thoughts like anyone who criticizes recent albums of IR has to be a ARR/MSV fan and so on. Thats narrowmindedness. I am a fan of good music and have equally criticized everyone. If anything, I am a little biased towards IR and my opinions on his recent albums have been more out of angst than anything else. I sometimes get disappointed that IR chooses medicore films to work with and ends up giving medicore songs too. And as a fan I express my sentiments. If you find it hard to digest, like I said earlier, you are welcome to ignore my posts from hereon and save us all another headache.
