Endhiran film music review:

Well, the songs have come up. And Rahman's fans all over twitter and the blog world are exhausting every superlative adjective to glorify the songs and getting in sync. They justify, Rahman is lord and what comes from the lord is consecrated, and therefore no negative comments to be aired.

"Well the songs are superb(assumed to be superb), and hence i will listen to it. Because Rahman's intellectual depths are revealed only in the nth time of hearing"

The world is increasingly becoming liberal, and therefore it is best left maniacs and fanatics to their own idiosyncrasies. Even if i am one myself.

Music is defined as a periodic noise. That's a negative description but nevertheless fits the bill. Even if it is slightly periodic, or if it follows a pattern, or it produces a soothing sensation something which induces sleep to a tired mind.

This is one form of describing music, and when it resembles jarring, woofer wrecking, random synthesized sounds, the apparent difference between music and noise is wiped off.

Endhiran is one such album, where the character of music is lost in the drumming and echoing background noises.

Pudhiya manidha has this robotised voices and ARR himself joins the robots, and his daughter adds a soft element, and then the the song actually starts at 2:20 when SPB starts his hum. Aw..... what a voice, after a long time, the reign of the real male voice in tamil film music. Yeah i mentioned periodic, yes the beats simple and periodic, sudden bursts of voice(with the annoying goat sounds produced by Rehaina, ARR's sister). SPB voice is robotised at times, which hampers the rhythm. song brought to life by SPB.

Kadhal anukkal : Pardon me, is this song composed by Rehman? Any average Joe can come up with a similar tune and presentation. Tippu's voice exactly for Vijay Prakash.

Irumbile oru idhayam: The voices playing in the stereo is so bizarre. ARR voice is excellent and mind-blowing at times but which is hidden behind the grandeur of music. (how much it fits for the hero on screen is another issue), An average song. Will be nice for a drive in the car.

Chitti dance:Not exactly music by any standards.

Arima arima: Purely for the video and not so sumptuous for audio standalone listening. Rhyming verses, Sadhana Sargam will not to match the actress voice. Noisy and too loud at any volume.

Kilimanjaro: Rahman's sister is a menace to this song's intro. Otherwise, it is a nice song with Javed Ali and Chinmayee!!!!! Her modulation is so different and intoxicating. Beat is heavy and slow paced funky. The only listenable song, which doesn't enervate you , fresh and stands out from the others. Tribal elements.

Boom boom:Musical notes resemble Shivaji's adhiradi song. Kailash kher's voice dont have much applicability. Female voice dont fit: and the synthesizing makes it irritating. More of noise and less and less of music.

......
They said ARR is a genius, and his works rings only to the ears of true intellectuals, common men like me will take many times to grasp it. Is there anyone listening to Shivaji or for that matter VTV?

Musical notes which are complex for the sake of it.
