Title: Not among his best
Review: This is, without a doubt, Cohen's most atypical album - especially from the perspective of production. His other album all have a timeless sound. This one, however, smacks of lush overproduction typical of the late '70's. It's almost as if someone (the producer, Phil Spector?) was trying to bring Cohen into the pop mainstrain.The lyrics and songwriting are excellent (as is anything written by Leonard Cohen). Cohen would please his fans very much if he re-recorded these songs in his normal style.If you're considering this as your first Leonard Cohen music purchase, please reconsider. Any of his other albums is a better choice.
