In one sentence - The Rising is a monumental effort by ARR. So authentic and creative. Now I can understand people getting dissappointed initially. Music of such brilliance is not heard everyday and the ears that are so used to the Bunties, Bublies and Bahanays will take time to comprehend the beauty and sheer genius of Rising. I was transported to another era while listening to the tracks which have a rustic beauty in them. The Rising is undoubtedly the most period (if I may) of all of ARR's period soundtracks.
One of the best vocal intros ever from ARR in Mangal Mangal. A delightful holi song. I don't know why people are cribbing about the Daud beats which comes only for a few seconds. Rasiya is absolutely mesmerizing. Love the humming and the part "Bigdi banat banat ban gayi...". Absolutely hanuting melody and chords in that section. As for Al Maddath Maula, I think ARR has outdone himself this time. Excellent vocals. You can close your eyes and feel close to the Creator in this one. And Takey Takey is the most innovative creation from ARR in a long time. Brilliant song with lots of new sounds. Sukhwinder's vocal loop is great. Listen to the "Cockadoodledoo" at 1:48!! I have no words to express my gratitude to ARR for this soulful soundtrack. Hats off to Javed Akhtar too for some outstanding lyrics. God bless you ARR...
