yes. with VTV, many were saying "ARR is back". well i dunno in what sense they meant, but the album is a rocking hit. Never seen this kind of response from the today's teenagers to an ARR album. They r usually a Harris or Yuvan song followers. They will only use their songs as callertune and ringtones. but these few months im spotting teenagers using Hosanna as ringtone and callertune... really glad to see this. :)
