 Rating:  - I missed Leonard in the 60's and 70'sI missed the 60's and 70's raising children. I heard a voice in the background of a video thru the internet. I asked around and finally found that it was Leonard Cohen. I love his voice. He tells a story thru his songs and they are calming to me. I'm glad I found him. It's never too late. I now have 6 of his CD's. Rating: - A nice job all the way through...I've been a casual Cohen fan since BEFORE he even made music for money. When I was in college, Leonard's novel "Beautiful Losers" was a moderate hit in artsy, intellectual circles. I aspired to be in such a circle, so I read the book. Only months later did I find out that he was a singer/songwriter as well. In the past 40 years, I've only bought a few of his albums, and none in the past two decades. Last month, however, I found this one on sale for an irresistable price and plunged in. I like all the tracks. While none of the songs have the commercial appeal of his early folk hits such as "Suzanne" and "Bird on a Wire" and "Sisters of Mercy", they are all poetic, competent, pleasant, and feature Leonard in good voice. I saw Mr. Cohen in concert ... Read More: Rating:  - I Can't Say So Long MarianneLeonard Cohen, the debut album released in 1967 is a timeless, brooding, manostic masterpiece. It captivated me to the point where I listened to it almost exculsively for four months or more. I became so engrossed in it that once I put it on, I had to listen to it entirely, without interuption at least once, sometimes as many as four times consecutively. Did I flip out for any subsequant Leonard Cohen release? Well, Songs of Love & Hate comes closest. The Bob Johnston production mimics John Simon and the songwriting is top notch even for Leonard's high standards. But none of his other albums has the same impact or poigancy. Even Songs For A Room isn't as intimate or moving. So twenty-something years later along comes Various Positions ... Read More: Rating: - "...golden voice"Of course you have to like Cohen's "gift of a golden voice," which not everyone appreciates, but if you do, these are some of his best songs. Unfortunately no liner notes, otherwise a bargain of a CD. Rating: - What about The Law?I had to write this review just to give praise to the song "the Law" on this disc. None of the other reviewers seem to have mentioned it at all, other then they liked it. And in my opinion, its easily the second best song on the album after Hallelujah. Its in my Top Ten Favorite Leonard Cohen Tracks. Theres nothing else like it, it has a very dark reggae vibe to it. The music kinda reminds me of a slowed down "gangsta party" by 2pac. The Melody is lovely and mysterious, and the lyrics are very touching. I just wanted to give Leonard some credit for that song, I absolutely love it. thanks. |
