JM - not even one song impressed me ...Afterthe recent ramp ups , this was a let down for me

@ Mumbai Ramki

Looks like i shd feel happy that i still havent heard it

[dochu]

To me , JM doesn't seem to have 'soul' in it. Which is what mostly seen in his late upcomings.

[vigneshram]

To all who feel that JM is a let down...

give a few more listens and then come to a conclusion

Even I felt very disappointed on first listen and dismissed the album. But now, I just love the songs.

dochu ,
I wouldnt agree with that statement ..though JM didn't impress me ..Possibly i was expecting a grand score and the album no where met the expectations...

[Sureshs65]

I think each one had a different expectation from JM and hence the problems. I am impressed with three of the songs and I love the orchestration. All this about Raja's recent songs not having 'soul' is pure bunkum.

I had no expectations from IR for JM. The original JM is a C-grade movie. It is nothing but a typical ultra-soft porno movie. Having watched it already I knew the score won't be another UO or similar. Given all that, the score seems to be totally agreeable to me. I love the kattikittaa song now. I don't care much for the amman song. Rest seem okay.

Wf.

Vaalmiki after multiple hearings is quite good.
Poo Sirikkidhu is catchy and addictive. "Eppodhum enna pathi edhum, eNNiyE pathadhilla naanum" part of the tune is heart-warming.

Oli tharum sooriyan is reflective and serene, at the same time expressing a stifled sigh in its tune. The hesitant, sigh-filled "i am not worthy but Iam still the right choice for you" refrains are captured well in the tune.

Kooda Varuviya is a fine melody, nothing more but what of that?

Didnt care much for the fun songs.

Romba romba sumrarana album .... nothing much to rave.

[Sanjeevi]

As someone said Ponmani Theril has a striking similarity with Vennilava song of Senkottai (MD: VS) in the first line.
