Did I come across as being clueless? Perhaps so...but I happen to like Swades and Bose. In fact, although they may have earned him bad reviews, they happen to be favourites of mine, especially Swades.
I had merely meant to bring out the fact, that I felt that there was an experiment of a new sounds and styles, which I reckon was more in MP and Ah Ahh, rather than the previous soundtracks. It is not my intention to condemn the people who have given their views to MP. I think the expectations are different. It is a different sounding ARR that we are hearing and I for one am trying to get used to the sound. And as I have mentioned, I refused to see it as bad. Although that was my first initial reaction to it on hearing both the two releases. I think at the end of the day, both of us have one thing in common and that would be our undying support for ARR. Thank you so much for your reply. : ) --- V S Rawat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 8/14/05 8:28 AM India Time, _Vanitha G_ wrote: > > > I am beginning to wonder if it's something that I > > didn't want to see... > > > > Is the music from the soundtrack all that bad? > > Practically almost all the reviews have criticised > the > > songs.
