sriram - It all depends on your expectations. I guess you expect totally out-of-the-world fresh music everytime an ARR album releases. Most of the times that is not going to happen.
Things were different in the 90s. ARR's music and sound stood out among the other music that was coming out then. But since 2000, if you notice, lots of music composers are sounding more & more like ARR. They have incorporated lots of Rahmantic sounds into their music. So the uniqueness of Rahman's 90s music was diluted and Rahman was forced to change his style. Just think from ARR's point of view. If he keeps giving 90s style of music, people complain he is repetitive. If he changes his style to something different, people say his style is gone and his quality has decreased. Either way there are only complaints. He cannot satisfy all every time. coming back to expectations, i guess if Sakkarakatti was composed by any other MD, you would have probably called it good music. But since it is from ARR, you are expecting much more. i wud say sakkarakatti is not that bad, but it is not fair to compare it with ARR's previous works. It is good in its own way.
