ATM – ARR makes it for both CLASS and MASS
Thanks to ARR, there won't be any perfect kutthu song with amateurish lyrics in a Vijay's film soundtrack. I feel ARR is now capable of giving music depending on the hype the films has about, for example, sillunu oru kadhal needs more soothing songs than a grand gala songs as required for sivaji. And here comes a tough situation in music for Vijay, for whom the film only rolls behind him from starting to ending, with some loud jarring songs. ARR handles this very cleverly and has given songs satisfying Vijay fans and ARR fans. The album has six songs, most of them in contra to ARR music, appeals one, in the first listen itself. Ellaappugazhum – This is the song which most of the music lover hear first in the album, reason: the singer– starting from Humma Humma to Adiradi, you can't tell whether ARR voice or music makes them best. But I think for this one I can tell ARR voice from ARR fan prespective or Lyrics from Vijay fan perspective. The music is not that great as you see in any songs sung by ARR. But repetitive hearing will make this one to be good, I don't like a small bit in the last, not sure if this is because the lyrics is very simple. But overall this song will be the anthem for Vijay fans and ARR deserves the credit. Order : 3/6. My iTunes Rating: 4 Stars. Ponmagal Vandaal – Just amazing as I was with "thottal poomalarum" in New. This one proves ARR's versatile music talent. Simply superb the way the old song handled, This song will prove, remix is not just having a eurodance music playing in the background and singing the same old song with some abstract lend raps inserted in between. Order : 1/6. My iTunes Rating: 5 Stars. Nee Marilyn Monroe – The pick of the album, the whole song is very catchy, especially the first 2 minutes of the 6 minutes song is simply superb. The lyrics makes it more stylish. Thank God Vaali didn't pen for this song. Na.Muthukumar has done his job well. This song is more western kinda with good tune as Smaiye songs in Kandukonden kandukonden. Only Rahman can create these scores. Order : 2/6. My iTunes Rating: 5 Stars. Valayapatti – This one is okay at first listening and its appealing increases as you hear more. This one is very catchy and Naresh has to thank ARR for this. Though seems to be a classic mix, it is appealing with some good interludes and when Naresh comes with a bang. Order : 5/6. My iTunes Rating: 4 Stars. Kelamal Kaiyile - This is also a slow poison, The center I mean the anupallavi is simply superb. My iTunes got 4 rating even at the first listen itself. It different to have a beat for a melody but its techno mix is seems good. Though it starts with ordinary tunes and pace, the center portion reserves best. The voices are also suitable for this. The only melody in the album is good and rahmanic. Order : 4/6. My iTunes Rating: 4 Stars. Maduraikku Pogathadee – Old folkish song, which resembles to illayaraja tune but it is mixed with various tunes and the flow goes on to make it good. The first start tune is good to hear and will be appealing to all mass. ARR comes with this for B and C grade I guess. Order : 6/6. My iTunes Rating: 3 Stars. All these ratings and reviews are after hearing the album, just 15 to 20 times. As a typical ARR album this will slowing grow in you. As my topic tells, ARR managed to give numbers balancing CLASS and MASS. I won't explicitly tell CLASS as ARR fans and MASS as Vijay fans. So ARR rocks with ATM, looking forward for his next project.
