Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Absolute snoozefest. Basic guitar rhythms + pretentious artsy lyrics. The dude is barely singing.

really not my taste at all. Very bad talk singing.

Not a fan

No instrumentation No vocal range

Wack attack self important low energy bullshit

Poetically: 5/5 Musically: -5/5

Every song sounded the same which was lame

Depression music.

I've tried to listen to Cohen many times and every time I find it too mundane. I like Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and other "storytellers" but Cohen just doesn't hit the right note so to speak.

I'm sure there's an interesting story being told here but I'm so bored by the sound it's hard to follow without mentally checking out. The most compelling song has to be Teachers as it takes on a darker tone and faster pace.

This dude bored the fuck outta me back then and a few more times than that. I refuse to listen again. So no, 1 for me.

It's weird writing this, but I like my folk a little harder than this. This is like poems with music behind it. I understand Suzanne and So Long, Marianne are the big songs from this album but those are two of my least favorite tracks.

He sucks.

Very melancholy. It's sad poetry. I should read the lyrics but not motivated to do so.

Somehow, someone found and put on this list a bob dylan album thats even worse then bob dylan!

Well that was a waste of 41 minutes and 34 seconds. Instruments were good, but I just could not stand his monotonous singing voice.

Has a hard time staying awake at work while listening to this album. I guess I can see why he is considered a must listen to artist. However, not really for me.

He sounds depressed. And like he needs to drink some water, because he smacks his lips while he sings. I hate that sound. I can hardly make it through the second song... I did get through the album, but I didn't enjoy it.

Good story teller but not gofted musically in this one

Definition of boredom

Not my cup of tea.

My second Cohen album and I'm still unimpressed. At least he sings on this one but I still don't get the appeal. This must be for people who are into poetry and/or lyrics because musically this is a boring, repetitive downer. Please, no more....

This was a dreary poetry reading with music as an after thought.

Not for me

The worst album I’ve had so far. I feel like I completely missed the point of this one. I didn’t like a single song

Not my taste in music, but the songwriting was excellent

Perfect for rainy days and laying in bed reading Sylvia plath and considering if my electric oven will have the same effect as a gas. Also barely listened to it because ewww.

Yeah nothing here for me. Lot of talk singing about all this guy’s feelings. One ok song to listen to otherwise they pretty much all sound the same.

One star is generous

Great songwriter, but not for me. 1/5

Hallelujah

If you like Jim Croche, but don't like hooks, this may be for you! Wandering tales that lack the ability to hold my attention. I would guess Lou Reed did some smack while listening to this.

Boooooring

I’m not a hater on Leonard. And granted this is only really after one listen. It’s just a little boring. Suzanne is a fantastic track and blew me away. Everything else just kinda sounds the same and doesn’t move me quite as much as the first song.

Not a fan

Ugh

the melodies and lyrics are both a little too boring for me.

No

Drab.

Don’t get it and it’s very depressing listening. 1*

Excruciating.

If you are having trouble falling asleep, try this.

This was just yuck the singer just kinda talked almond the music but nothing really happened and no songs stuck out to me.

I waited for 40-some minutes waiting for some variation in the music and his singing and all I found was someone playing with a wind-up toy at one point. The guy's expression on the cover sums up how I felt listening to this album. 1/5

Boring

The first song was pretty good, then I didn’t like the second song at all and every song after ended up sounding like that second song. Should be illegal to put the best song first.

Nor a fan

It was like anti asmr. Background music was painful to me,

Nearly fell asleep in track one. Pass.

Boring. Bad. Couldn’t listen to it

Not my tempo

bedge

i'm not really in to the whole adoration of lenny thing. his voice is incredibly boring. maybe he's a good songwriter, his songs have sounded decent when sung by someone else. but not sung by him.

#pogback

Was not a huge fan, too slow and warbly, can appreciate production was very clean and stripped back, however was not enjoyable to listen

Boring Adam Sandler talk-singing to acoustic guitar.

Good lord what in the Sam hell is this guy talking about. You will need a copy of the lyrics, google, and an hour to break down each song. Not for this kid.

I really don't understand who this music is for. It's awful. There are no redeeming qualities. It isn't even short

Not a fan of his music. No snap.

talking over slow music: the album

Boring hippie shit

Not for me

He literally sounds like he's bored while he's singing, how do people even pretend to like this. He's the music version of Shakespeare: people only say they like him because it makes them feel smart

Sorry Leonard but every song sounded the same

Slow and dull

# 22 : More music to fall asleep by. Don't listen and drive! Hahaha. Very slow and mellow, but clear and crisp. I found myself skipping tracks to get through this.

Didn't listen, skipped through - not my vibe at allll

Boring, monotone, no beat, slow.

Idk how TF Leonard Cohen has 4 albums on this list but they all sound the same to me and it's just plain boring

Very samey, and sound similar but not as good as Hallelujah

Meh, not my thing

not my cup of tea

Poetry to music. Not into it. Listen again: no Purchase for my collection: no Favourite Song: Worst Song: I

Rough, boring, samey.

[pppp

Not great! Out of tune and talks rather than sings. Not my thing.

Ugh. "I won't say anything 'cause no one ever listens to me, anyway. I might as well be a Leonard Cohen album." - The Young Ones 1/5

Utterly depressing

i’m going to kill myself i hate this man’s music more than anything in the world please stop

nope. not even 400 albums in and having a 4th Leonard Cohen album is absurd. This is terrorism. will not and you cannot make me. 0 poutines.

very Dylanesque. Modern minstrel. Some of it's kind of dark though- I'll follow you to the slaughter house and wait there with the lambs. The scream wailing at the end was nuts

Very boring

Kinda boring tbh

pf

Different music…. Not a fan

I just don't care for Leonard Cohen. I wanted the album to end much earlier than it did. I was not really entertained by any of the songs.

So boring. Bob Dylan wannabe. I couldn't even finish it

I enjoyed some of Leonard Cohen’s music in the past but this album is HARD to get into for me. Sorry Leonard =‘(

Het is een icoon, maar het kwartje is bij mij nog nooit gevallen.

didnt listen much not my thing

No particular favourite track.

Slightly eerie and off putting. Songs sound the same.

I find this guy so boring... It's funny how he had this squeaky voice before he got old and went on just talking over a soundtrack

Didn't finish it

Acoustic guitar melodies with Leonard singing. Each song kinda sounds the same? Meh.

Not a fan, this could've put me right to sleep if I wasn't actively doing something else.

Zzzzzzz

holy fuck resident sleeper

Nope

Morose and monotone, minimalist in composition. A folk style from the Viet Nam era. Vocals and acoustic guitar predominate with garnishes of violin, harpsicord, flute and other uncommon instruments. Percussions are almost entirely absent this album, save the occasional glockenspiel (or whatever that was). The sentiments conveyed are surely nostalgic to the boomer, but this music is inaccessible to later generations.

Not my style...sorry Leonard.

booo so boring and weird barely liked a single song

Too slow not interesting

trippy, outside expectations even for bowie

Too slow and boring for my tastes. A couple of listenable songs mixed with a bunch of throwaways.
