Music Review - Rock on
Music Review – Rock on
Music Directors: Shankar Ehsaan Loy
Starring: Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli
Finally, pure untouched rock music seems to have arrived in Bollywood. The first ever music album of its kind, Rock On has all the ingredients required for a proper rock album and with the current scene in the film industry, these guys seem to have made a good job of it. Heavy distorted riffs, Metal tones, and trashy lyrics, the album has it all. Lets hope that the listeners are awakened to a classic music genre which still eludes India.
Socha Hai, the first track itself starts with a melodious rock tune, drum snares and fills. Farhan Akhtar and gang have sung it will all the energy that is required to perform it.
Pichle Saat dino Mein is a slow rock piece which moves through various grooves. The bass lines behind the main music are noticeable and what again strikes out are the supposedly trashy lyrics which don’t mean a thing but complete the overall effect.
Rock on!! Is the title track and in fact, the best track in the album. It is unique, catchy and filled with leads, fills and guitar interlude along with fast drum beats.
Ye tumhari meri baatein and Phir Dekhiye are two soothing and different tracks.
Zehreelay and Sinbad the Sailor are also nice rock pieces.
