Every song was beautiful yet gritty. Cohen's voice is unmatched. No skips

Production on this is great

Synth melodies are corny. Lyrics are soft. Came out in the 90s but this is very 80s sounding which I'm not a huge fan of. This is unlistenable...

3.5

Again, not huge on rap, think it’s limited as a genre. That said, Ms. Lauryn Hill is very talented, she has creative rhyme schemes and interesting lyrics. Production is cleaner, but keeps the rawness. Good variation in the themes and melodies and lyrics. Ended up liking this a lot. 4.5 imo

First song his voice sounded retarded. Second song better but why listen to this when tom waits exists? Ended up being not great. Some interesting songs, overall probably a 1.5.

Not my favorite white stripes but still great

Solid project definitely some value here. Ahead of its time and ambitious, I just didn't particularly love any songs, they're all just pretty interesting and/or sonically pleasing. 3.5

Not super listenable but thats okay. Very unique and overall a solid project. Very interesting experimental stuff on here. I think 3.5 or 4... there are better sonic youth projects but this is still great

3.5, it’s great but not elite by cohens standards

Here's what I'm never gonna do: listen to Joan Baez sing House of the Rising Sun when the Monkees did it perfectly, listen to Joan Baez sing I Know You Rider when the Grateful Dead do it better. She's got a decent voice I just don't like it. Also the mixing on this is way too heavy on vocals. I understand that's intentional, I just don't like it or want it. Vibratos are overkill is kind of annoying.
