Happy New Year to all Hubbers. 2015 was a pretty diverse and eclectic year for IR. Straddling a very wide range - from the heavy and traditional Tharai to the contemporary and almost un-IR like (at times) Shamitabh. To me, AA hit the sweet spot by being right in the middle, combining contemporary arrangements as well as IR's current ideas in terms of strings orchestration with more vintage-quality melodies. It also gave him the opportunity to do what he excelled at in the 80s and up to mid 90s and which TFM hardly affords him these days - great romantic numbers. There were individual tracks from the different albums that clicked for me but as an album the one that was almost an instant winner for me was AA.
