Leonard Cohen
1988
Tracks
1. First We Take Manhattan
2. Ain't No Cure For Love
3. Everybody Knows
4. I'm Your Man
5. Take This Waltz
6. Jazz Police
7. I Can't Forget
8. Tower Of Song
It's rare that an album on this List is boring. Even the ones I don't like are interesting, some disturbingly so. But I found myself being dulled into a stupor as Cohen plodded through these songs.
I don't recall much about the previous Cohen albums on the List (and a brief glance at the entries made me cringe) but I don't remember him having the annoying background singers last time. Maybe he did. But I don't think it worked here. In fact, I would venture to say that he sounded bored as well, or else I am just projecting. But maybe he was trying to achieve a synthier 80s sound this time around, and wasn't too pleased with the results.
Skippable, especially "Jazz Police."
RATING: 2/5
