I just downloaded the music of Guru. This was one music album which I was early waiting. The combination of AR Rahman, Mani Rathnam and Gulzar - must be great!! But the album, atleast on the first hearing, sounds just ok.
The best song is Ay Hairathe - both lyrics and beats. Close to it comes Tere Bina, which has similar beats but is still different. Both are pretty unique. The next best is Jaage Hain which has great orchestra. Mayya Mayya is pretty ok...might grow on you. It has a sort of international feel to the music. Barso re is also pretty ok...again another song that you might start liking after repeated hearings. Baazi Laga doesn't sound like a Rahaman song. Its a song that any other composer could have done. Sort of a let down. Another big let down is Ek Lo Ek Muft. This the one which Bappi da has sung. It sounds like a Tamil song translated to Hindi. Pretty sad.
Overall - pretty decent. Like many of Rahman's albums, this too might sound better after repeated hearings
