A 10/10, his best collection of songs and also his best album as a whole. More menacing, sarcastic and dark than pretty much anything he's released prior or since. The stories are some of the all time best. Famous Blue Raincoat, Joan of Arc etc. Lyrics of pretty much every song could be considered some of the best in popular music if you ask me. Avalanche is my favourite Cohen song I think, incredible both in his and Cave's version. No words can do this one justice.

I'd place this as a distant third in his discography, after his all-time great debut and excellent follow-up.

This one or the debut are my favorite just depending on my mood. Last Year's Man has the best lyrics but Famous Blue Raincoat is probably my favorite track overall.

Quite easily his best album, and also one of the darkest, bravest explorations of the human existence. His voice also sounds pretty angry and bitter most of the time, which wasn't the case with the other albums from this period. The Avalanche is a cold masterpiece, Famous Blue Raincoat quite possibly the most tragic love triangle story ever told, and Dress Reherseal Rag is a chilling flert with suicidal tendencies. Top class stuff.
