Review:
A great box
This is a great box at an absolute bargain price. It includes Leonard Cohen's first 11 albums
(listed at the end of this review), so you don't get the brilliant Old Ideas or
the slightly less brilliant Popular Problems, but it's still an amazing
collection. All the albums have been
remastered and sound very good indeed.
Frankly, the music in this collection scarcely needs a
review from me. It's Leonard Cohen,
which is pretty well all that need be said.
Personally, I think these albums are a bit variable in quality but
they're never anything less than good, and the real Cohen classics like I'm
Your Man or the first three albums remain superb. In short, this is a great box, and if you
want to fill in the gaps in your Cohen collection or to investigate the work of
one of the truly great songwriters of our age, don't hesitate. Very warmly recommended.
The albums:
Songs of Leonard Cohen
Songs from a Room
Songs of Love and Hate
New Skin for the Old Ceremony
Death of a Ladies’ Man
Recent Songs
Various Positions
I’m Your Man
The Future
Ten New Songs
Dear Heather
