Poetry - in words and music

The first 3 albums of Leonard Cohen (Songs, Songs From A Room, Songs of Love & Hate) are incomparable exceptional phenomena of pop music - each a masterpiece and all the numbers at the highest musical level. Cohen is first more a poet than a musician - his songs are cast in music poetry, and thereby become a mesmerizing experience. His dark, warm and somewhat brittle voice touches the heart and fascinated. To be content with hit compilations, would be a pity, because really every song is an experience and a gem.

SONGS - is the "most romantic" and most easily catchy album. Sentimental, emotional, slightly melancholic - without ever being cheesy. In addition to all poetry also ideal for lovers and cuddly experiences.

Songs From A Room - is more economical from the instrumentation and forth lyrically and musically compressed, sober. Cohen tells and sings stories of archaic and simple size and captivating beauty.

SONGS FROM LOVE AND HATE - is a grim and mesmerizing masterpiece. The fascinating texts are congenially increased musically in effect. The calm, sonorous voice and thoughtful Cohen struck a in a quasi mystical experience.

One can not say that CD is "better" here - each for itself is an independent and perfect in itself work. This is more than pop music. This is art.
