Leonard Cohen
New Skin for the Old Ceremony
"I'm sorry for smudging the air with my song ..."
Review Score:
(10/10)A great collection of songs here, mostly exploring the areas of love and war. Probably the most famous song on the album is "Chelsea Hotel #2", a loving (but not too loving) tribute to Janis Joplin. Other highlights are "Take This Longing", "A Singer Must Die", "Who By Fire", "There is a War", and "Is This What You Wanted". And this is one of his few albums that doesn't have at least one screechingly bad song to ruin the flow. Can't go wrong buying this one.
