Title: Ruined... By Spector AND Cohen...
Review: Today marks the fifth time in my life that I've made an effort to enjoy Leonard Cohen's work. Having tried, on separate occasions, to sit through "Songs of Leonard Cohen", "Songs from a Room", "Songs of Love and Hate", and, later all of them consecutively, I had all but dismissed Cohen's work as overrated. Yes, I do recognize he writes well - but, as a musician, he just isn't compelling. Leonard Cohen's music gives you all of the catharsis of a root canal.Having enjoyed some of Phil Spector's productions a great deal, I decided I would give a chance to one last Leonard Cohen album. "Death of a Ladies Man" does have nice lyrics. I might, in fact, enjoy reading these words independent of this terrible music. Neither artist hits the mark on this recording and I would suggest to the potential buyer to consider ANYTHING else.
