Title: cohen meets spector
Review: This is one of the wierdest albums ever, and worth owning even if you can't decide whether to love it or hate it.For me it is certainly one of the oddest pairings in the history of popular music with cohen's darkly intellectual and sensual understatement meeting spector's affinity for huge and often vulgar production with unpredictable results - you just couldn't make it up- God knows what they were thinking. The album is patchy, but well worth the highlights. 'Don't go home with your hard-on' is probably the only cohen track you'd be ever be able to get people to dance to, while the tite track finishes life as a kind of stoned wigout with cohhen's vocals swamped under some of the mudiest production you'll hear this side of the 1950s, but somehow it all works in some strange way. Any decade other than the 1970s and it probably wouldn't have happenend- buy it just for the sheer unlikeliness of the whole thing.
Is the review positive or negative?
