Product Description
From Amazon.com
Canadian poet Leonard Cohen sings with great weight and authority and his lyrics are among the most elegant and scripted of the rock era. This collection is culled from his past three albums (1988's I'm Your Man, 1992's The Future, and 1994's Cohen Live) and shows a man whose voice has deepened to the point of grim, foreboding death with lyrics sharpened to masterful precision. The arrangements are deliberately clunky--the cheese- whiz female back-ups lend unusual tension bordering on parody--but the sentiments are for real. Two previously unreleased cuts, "Never Any Good" and the non-event, "The Great Event" suggest his well is currently dry. But the unrelenting bleakness of "The Future" and uneasy celebration of "Democracy" are among the past decade's most challenging pop works. --Rob O'Connor

Take This Waltz ~,
By A. Casalino "V^^^^^V" (Downers Grove, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: More Best of Leonard Cohen (Audio CD)
What poetic genius blended with melodies so poignant to my hungry ears! This is the ultimate in the sinful indulgence of lyricism ~ I love this album! It dances me to the end of love - It's where I go to cry - I can take this where love's never been - and there it would sprout from the rich soil of Leonard Cohen's verse and voice an amazing tree of the delectable forbidden fruit!

GREAT ARTIST - QUESTIONABLE SELECTIONS,
By dphilips2002 (ROYAL OAK, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: More Best of Leonard Cohen (Audio CD)
I can't believe that "FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN" is not on a "BEST OF COHEN". I would also rather hear the studio versions over the live. My advice instead is to buy "I'M YOUR MAN" and if you like that get "THE FUTURE". His newest cd is very good too. Mr. Cohen releases albums so rarely that 3 CDs in 13 years is not that much of an investment. If you want a good live tape I would seek out his PBS Austin City Limits video.

Some songs are quite awesome,

This review is from: More Best of Leonard Cohen (Audio CD)
Especially "Everybody Knows" "Tower of Song". "Dance me to the end of love" is great,but I'd have preferred the studio version to the live version presented here. About half the songs do nothing for me. But this is a good way to get some great recent songs of Leonard Cohen without having to buy each of his later CDs. which have a tendency to contain just one great song the rest being so-so.
