If this was an IR album, it would have been labelled dated, stuck in the 80s, etc etc. Unfortunately, Raja's capacity to keep churning out great music like a machine is taken for granted by now and perhaps that's bound to happen with anybody who composes for a 1000 films. However, yes, I am happy to hear another composer trying to emulate IR's style with some original input and not blind imitation.
