Guys,
Just some reminders before we hear Blue in full. Please don't take this as
instruction, merely suggestions and reminders.
1) Blue is an action flick. Expect a lot of songs to be fast, catchy, upbeat,
Western in nature. ARR
can't compose semi classical music with this type of movie. Remember, film
soundtracks are not private albums. ARR is very particular about scoring music
that fits well with a movie's theme, script, situation.
2) ARR's songs grow. If at first you don't like, give them a chance.
3) Try to appreciate the hard work that goes into each of the tracks, even if
that track is not your favorite. Pay attention to small details in rhythm,
sound, variations, voice, etc to enhance enjoyment. Headphones will help
4) If someone in this group does not like the album or a song and disagrees
with you strongly, let that opinion be and don't try to argue and persuade that
person to like what you like. Expect a lot of mixed reactions to the music not
only from us here, but from reviews as well. Expect both good and bad
reviews. Expectations play a HUGE role in how we judge and perceive an ARR
soundtrack,
esp. in the beginning.
5) The soundtrack preceding the current soundtrack can influence expectations
and judgement. Delhi 6 was a career high for Rahman in many people's
opinions. Some may expect another career high in Blue, which may not be
possible given the type of movie, director, etc.
6) You don't have to like every ARR song or album. Some songs are situational
and not everyone's cup of tea. ARR uses various genres of music and everyone
has different tastes. Again, let different opinions stand and try not to take
offense if someone disagrees with you and puts down Blue's music. Some may
change their minds later.
7) If Blue's music is not your thing, have faith in ARR. Every movie, every
soundtrack is different. Avoid comments like "ARR has lost it" If you don't
like this one, maybe you'll love the next one.
8) Remember, if everyone one of us liked every single song
and every single album from ARR, what a boring fan club we would be.
Different strokes for different folks and it's diversity in thought and opinion
that makes the world go round.
9) Try not to complain that ARR did not score Dil Se part II or Roja part II.
By now, you should know that ARR is always moving forwards, trying new
directions, styles, etc. THat's what makes him special. Sometimes his
experiments do well, sometimes not so well. Keep the big picture in mind. If
you miss the AR of old, you have lots of older albums to listen to. And don't
confuse nostalgia with quality.
10) Finally, remember how special ARR's music is and try to appreciate the
diversity in his music, even if you don't appreciate as much a particular
album. These moments where we await a new ARR soundtrack are special and won't
come again. Enjoy the ride, savor the excitement, roll with the let downs, and
have
faith in ARR....always have faith!
Enjoy Blue!!!
