I think it's still his best album. But he's certainly done some great stuff over the years - any other fans out there??
Leonard Cohen is one of those artists who has never released a bad album. I've always liked his old stuff but even his newer albums where its just him, a drum machine and a backup singer is really incredible.
I love leonard cohen's first 3 albums...famous blue raincoat, so long marianne, suzanne, bird on a wire, sisters of mercy, hey that's no way to say goodbye, master song...so many great songs. I heard he lives 20 minutes from me
cohen is amazing. my favorite song of his is probably 'dress rehersal rag.' i had heard about him and just bought songs of love and hate on a whim, and i'm very glad i did. the only problem is trying to play original music after hearing someone who could write that well.
I'm not a huge fan, but this was the best album I've listened to of his (of the 2 I've listened to). "Stranger" and "Goodbye Marianne" are good tracks.
