In western countries, usually music albums have a collection of songs based on some theme and all the songs in the album are set in the same style.

Only in our film albums, we get a masala mixture of all styles from Jazz, Rock, classical to folk in a single cassette. "Mounam Pesiyadhe" is one such album much hyped by wide publicity. In an interview Yuvan had pointed a particular song from this album to be his favourite song among his compositions. Being directed by Ameer who worked as an assistant director to Bala and from the producers of "Nandhaa" the film has high expectations.

The album starts with "En anbe" song which begins with an enchanting flute piece by Naveen. The beautiful song in Shankar Mahadevan's voice tries to express the pain of a lover. Without much percussion dominance the song survives by Shankar Mahadevan's emotional crooning and decent lyrics by Kaamakodiyaan.

Next comes the pick of the album, "Chinna chinnathaai" by Yuvan shankar and Hariharan. Yuvan has done a lot of experiments in this song like using techno kind of music, sudden transition to rock style, charanam part with minute pause between subsequent lines and the result is that we get a superb song.The theme of the song is love failure and it is enned by Puduvai Nambi. The humming of this song is sure to stick on to the lips and heart of listeners.

"Aadaatha aatam" by Karthik has lyrics by Snehan. This song is a free-flowing song of IR's style with folk mixed in right proportion. The lyrics are very much philosophical and could very well mistaken for a song from Rajini's movie.

"Eh Nanbane" by Shankar Mahadevan and Hariharan is a catchy number again penned by Snehan. It's about friends coaxing the hero not to get angry and not to blame love.

"Arubathu aayidichu" by Manickam vinayakam and Malgudi Shuba has Vaalee's lyrics. It's a mediocre song and it's success depends on the picturisation of the song.

"Ilamai" by Nidesh gopalan and Yuvan is a song set in a situation where a group of friends enjoy roaming around the streets and sing.Usually such songs will have high pitch tunes with beats but here Yuvan has tried a new style and still it conveys the feel.

"Love all day" is the theme music and it begins with Yuvan chanting some meaningless words and bizzard beats. Lyrical credit has been given to Director Ameer for this song???!!! which has only one line i.e., "love all day" .

Ameer has written the lyrics for the song "Kannin" by S.P.Balasubramanian and Thara. Thara's voice resembles Bhavatharini's. This song is the replica of "Chinna chinnathaai" song but a duet in happy mood. Thara must have been very tensed during recording that her voice fails to express the feeling.

With Yuvan's efforts to mix the songs in London, giving techno kind of music and experimenting new kind of music the album is a overall good album to buy. But still with more techno kind of music creeping in, the usual touch of Yuvan Shankar is sadly missing in this album. Some of the songs have musical dominance that it's hard to pick out the lyrics.

Anyway, general comment and feedback from the music fans and audio shops is that "Yuvan Shankar Rocks"
