IR's New albums - Ver 2008

[MumbaiRamki]

I'll never ever claim that I like VS over Raja - thats not going to happen in my lifetime since Raja has been an influence from my school days - but all I'm saying is that VS seems to be more clued into upgrading his music and also seems to have found a sweet spot of melody, with a Raja-like sound that is very very appealing to people like me yearning for Raja's comeback into simple, un-synth orchestration combined with his ability to conjure fabulous tunes.

Quite,quite true ! I heard RTS , what you say matches with this soundtrack and all his previous ones . It is difficult to categorise VS . He is unique , resembles raaja/mSV SOMETIMES, but is unique !

But my only complaint with VS is his BGM . It never matches with his songs these days . With IR , its just the reverse.

Major digression -

IMO, He resembles everyone Nothing unique about him and that's the problem with him...disabling him from never reaching greater heights. Even kids like YSR / HJ can be identified with some of their own sounds when we hear their music but not VS who resembles all including these kids.

The reason is he is a master imitator but unlike Deva he doesn't even have gAnA to his personal credit. And he loots left and right, even from sources inside the country that makes him unable to make it even to the second grade. To compare him with the likes of IR is really a very sad thing. What do you call as his USP? Just that he produces some "listenable" songs doesn't make him to fit in the league of great composers in TFM.

I guess it would be more appropriate to discuss this in a VS thread

End of digression

[Sanjeevi]

yeah, it is too much to treat VS as IR's successor

My Curious Question ... Is this the first time as many as 8 Lyricists used in a single movie / Album?
