I really didn't know what to expect since this is Monty's first outing as a composer of a full song soundtrack. He's new at this! I am hearing a lot of disappointment with this soundtrack. I think people are disappointed simply because of extremely high expectations, not because the music is bad. And some just don't like soundtracks without heavy beats and item numbers. True that SLB's music style is quite predictable, but the hangover from Devdas to me is only on a couple of tracks. And quite a beautiful hangover it is! There are also some original and fresh sounding songs too. To me, an album to savor for a long, long time.
