Each member has a right to his opinion. I have been silently listening to the comments made about me reg. criticism of album Blue "lacking soul". I Stand by the fact anytime, anyday. Unfortunately there isn't anything which I can take as constructive from those criticisms! Wish them luck and prosperity throughout their life.
Gopal, This group used to be a great forum previously but the fact that many new people are fearing to accept any criticism these days! ARR fans have the right to criticise ARR. Right to constructive criticism will be only a healthy leading indicator and which will be wholeheartedly welcomed by the Master himself. But unfortunately there aren't too many members who like constructive criticisms these years. Had one valid point from a member saying that probably lesser usage of carnatic raagas might be the reason. Reasonings like those will be an eye-opener and will help in identifying the reason. What justification to be given when it simply lacks "soul"? V R Sriram
