	Pakipop.com > Evaluation > Ishq - Junoon
		Junoon is one group that built its musical reputation and credibility on their willingness to explore uncharted territories and to experiment outside the straight jacketing confines of Western rock.
		Junoon had already shown the confidence they had achieved in their special brand of East-West fusion on "Azadi".
		This is a direction in which Junoon is willing to let its guard down, to rid itself of its recently found earnestness, to be vulnerable in experimentation again.

		Although the band disagrees, Junoon has been labelled as a 'sufi rock band' by the media, due to their numerous, electrifying hits from Inquilaab and Azadi which took upon a peculiar, sufi style of music.
		Ehtessab is Junoon's way of calling out for accountability (which suddenly has become a very important issue in Pakistan), and Mujhe Insaaf Do, in Ali Azmat's voice, is a sort of a 'ghazal-like number' pleading with the government to provide justice.
		The majority of the songs were typical 'Junoon stuff', with hard rock fused with the familiar sounds of the tabla, and Salman Ahmad's electric guitar.

		When Junoon came on stage I was not much closer to but I was far away from it, very much away from the crowd as well.

		The events of 1857 were shocking in their violence, and neither the British nor the rebels showed themselves to be very honorable.
		The word "junoon" (obsession) connotes a tinge of madness, and that kind of madness is a very appropriate way to view the period.
		The "love story" is also suffused with the same out-of-control emotion.

	Junooni review
		Fans at the official Junoon forum claim the album to be one of Junoon’s best works audaciously comparing it to U2’s POP.
		The playful attitude of Junoon in the video remotely (very remotely) reminds one of Discotheque by U2 and you can’t help but wonder if Junoon really is trying what U2 tried with POP a few years ago.
		Junoon deserves credit because they tried to experiment on this album and did manage to sound very different from any of their previous efforts.
