He/she may not be able to appreciate a soundtrack like Vandicholai Chinnarasu or a Kizhakku Cheemayile.

The palette of ARR's music is so vast, which could be captured only if it's a person who knows all, ok may be many, varieties an nuances of music. Else, I'm just a commoner who will dislike a different tune and an excellent song, if it doesn't fall into the category of what I want to hear. I'm just a listener. A pretty ordinary listener. The only thing I can do is I can play with words to sound the review excellent. I can't listen to Roja and Raavan with similar state of mind and so there's no point in comparing them. But, the results are always enriching for me when I hear some thing unusual from every album of his, that makes me keep interested in music to know about different genres, instruments, singing styles etc in the world of music. So a music review by a person, just represents his/her taste and his state of mind when he/she listens to the track. And I just don't care about what he/she writes. And nobody should care about my take too. - Emmanuel
