I realize that I'm in the minority on this, but I absolutely despise the quality/tone of Leonard Cohen's voice and this album did nothing to sway me on that fact. I just put this album and it had that 80s sort of synth vibe and I was like, "Oh this is pretty cool." And then the frog croak of "They sentenced me to 20 years of boredom..." came jarring in like Fran Drescher in an otherwise quiet room... and I remembered. A few times a song started and I was like, "Oh, I might like this one, it sounds pret...nope, there he is again." I realize he is a legend, and the lyrics are interesting, but this is 100% not for me.
