I've never been all that partial to it, personally. I liked his stuff a lot better after his voice started getting super-gravelly in the late 80's and onwards. I guess my favorite studio album of his is probably I'm Your Man (1988), and my favorite album of his overall is probably Live In London (2009). It's unusual for me to favor a live album over a bunch of studio albums in someone's discography, but this is one of those cases, despite the cheesy organ sound that permeates it. (In fact, the only other recording artist that would apply to is The Tubes, though maybe DIIV, too.)

Also: This will sound sexist, but every woman I've ever met who liked Leonard Cohen, going all the way back to High School, prefers the earlier stuff — especially this album and The Best Of Leonard Cohen. Admittedly that's only three or four women, though. (Three or four who liked Leonard Cohen, that is; the total number of women I've known is at least twice that number.)

Deceptively simple, but a wintery singer-songwriter album with some of the most stunning musicality and vivid lyricism ever produced.

Track picks
1. Suzanne
5. Sisters Of Mercy
8. Stories Of The Street
10. One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong
