Slumdog, is this the best music we can offer?

Have you listened to the Slumdog Millionaire soundtracks? I don’t know about you but I think they sound awful for the most part, the one or two numbers I kind of liked are not definitely Rahman’s best. If Slumdog music wins Oscar, I will be very disappointed. Not because the tracks are so westernized, not because they lack the richness that’s in Indian classical music, not even because the music is not composed by maestro Illayaraja :), but because I think the music has no signature, it is not unique and it is not the best we have seen from A.R. Rahman.
