Music Reviews of Recent Songs
Music Review: Sad and whispery
Rating: 4 Stars
This album almost feels like his dream. The songs aren't as solid as Cohen's past efforts, but that's what makes it so unique and characteristic.
This is my favorite album by Cohen. If you have not yet heard it, and are used to his other stuff, be warned, that even though this music is very, very good, it's not going to be entirely like the other things he's done in the past (or in the future--after this album).
My guess is that most Cohen fans who buy this album will love, but I could definitely see the select few who are not able to see much in this album.
Music Review: Recent Songs
Rating: 4 Stars
Recent Songs by Leonard Cohen is a very good record. Cohen has a very unique voice and you can always hear that it is him. I have some issues with this release and it has nothing to do with the music. First of all the cover portrait looks ok but nothing more. Dianne Lawrence must have been a friend since otherwise I have no idea why Cohen accepted this substandard work. I think that Cohen is a great lyricist yet there are no lyrics included in the book-let. Even so this is a good recording that I give 4/5!
Music Review: Poet Laureate - Folk/Pop Music
Rating: 5 Stars
Leonard Cohen is a unique creative genius with a distinct voice, who in my opinion, has very few peers in pop/folk/rock music. Recent Songs is a fine, perhaps transitional album, with classics like The Guests, Window, Smokey Life, The Gypsy's Wife, from an artist who throughout his career has continually challenged himself and his audience.
If you have the opportunity, catch Lenard on a tour that ends, I think, sometime in June 2009. You won't be dissappointed.
Music Review: New Album but Mostly Young Leonard
Rating: 1 Stars
I love the voice of the "old man" but find the voice of the "younger man" lacking in comparison. Most of these songs were recorded by the younger man. I wish Leonard would re-record his earlier songs with his old deep voice. I would immediately buy them allMusic Review: Recent Songs Leonard Cohen

Probably an apt title for 1979 the release date, but not for a 2008 Website. However his music, as usual is wonderful. The Mr. Cool of Poetry in song. I love the man.
