Same here, I am emotionally connected to the album and kept listening to several times on loop even today.
Just yesterday I was listening to Mythri (kannada) and felt it has 4 nice numbers out of the 5 . I liked the fun/provoking song sung by Monisha & group the most followed by the one sung by Bhavatha. The one sung by Khailash Kher some how felt repetitive either with the feel or may be due to his monotonous emotions very dejavu (Un samayal Araiyil/ Oggarane).

Recent songs which were on loop for a very long time are all the songs of the following albums.
NEPV, Chithiraiyil Nila choru and Nadi Thudikkuthadi. Listening over and over again just for his sheer brilliance in his orchestration, the eloquent emotions he brings in each and every song, chorus giving their best every time. How much of variations he is able to bring in the chorus sections, something that many don't brag about. The critics and music reviewers in the main stream media hardly are paying attention to all this. They are reviewing just to fill few lines on their write ups. A great deal of soul is filled. "The more I listen the more it grows on me". Hard to find substitutes at least for me.
