After quite a while of being in sync with Joginder's reviews, I have to say that he's either gone drunk, or gone mad, or both. To me, he's no longer a music critic, but rather a himesh fanboy who uses big words, though knows just as much about music as you or me. Believe me when I say, there is no way Karzzzz is better than Rock On. Impossible!!!........................................
Now, for the actual review of Rock On. I have to say its a brilliant album, and although limited by the instruments used by a standard rock band, it definitely rocks!
Socha Hai is an awesome start to the album, though it takes a few listenings to actually enjoy it to the fullest extent.
Pichle Saat Dino Mein is my favorite rock song from the album, and comes with a uniqueness that you're not likely to see in India (unique lyrics, cool feel, true indian rock song).
The Title Song is accompanied with a great riff and background melody, though I can't say I'm too impressed by the lyrics (mostly the "Rock On! hai yeh ..." part).
Tumhari Meri Baatein is an exceptionally good soft rock song, whereas most songs in this category fail for improperly mixing the simplicity with that of a rock (usually ending up in a convoluted mess of soft v hard).
The other songs in the album are strictly ok, and fail to strike a major impact (though Tum Ho Toh comes close). However, that is still not enough reason to ignore the 4 absolutely rocking songs and some of the other decent ones. All in All, this is an album you need to have!
