Songs Of Love And Hate
Leonard CohenHe wrote some great songs and the arrangements on this album are good. But man who did he have around him for vocals input? Why did anyone think he should lay these tracks down with his vocals?

So good. Zero skips. Perhaps his best album. I only own Space Oddity on vinyl so I don’t listen to this one as much. Did he invent punk rock with Hang on to Yourself?!
Had to create a playlist to recreate this album for Apple Music streaming. https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/this-is-fats-domino/pl.u-BqENS1jV119 . Excellent. Terrific music and probably the first ever rock and roll song ever written and recorded? Very cool.
Very good. Tempted to give it 5 stars after the first track. But a solid 4 stars overall.
I don’t know if any Black Keys albums are less than 4 stars. Solid album.
Not their best. Maybe their worst but still better by miles than anything by The Beach Boys so.
I finished it. interesting perhaps. Not sure how to rate it though. 1-2 stars probably. Not sure I would ever put it on again. Not for me
Very much enjoyed. Starting to rate these albums by “make me dance” factor. 4/5.
There’s a time and place for this music. But not in my regular rotation. His voice is nice for sure. 3/5.
Disco!
One of the best rock bands ever. And this album is one of their best.
Would be at least 3 stars if he didn’t come across so phony on just about every track. 1-2 stars. Some are listenable but most make me cringe.
Best from them? Probably. Sounds like gen x. Rock on. Probably 5 stars - very good.
Soulful. Jazzy. Chill and good AF. Excellent.
Cheesy, cringey and dated. So 80s (in the worst way). Oh and the singer is almost always flat. Why is it two discs?????
Starts out OK ... got better though. Supercut is pretty good and tracks after. Perry good pop album. Was going to give it 4 but when listening again (same day) I decided it's not as enjoyable as I thought it might have been. 3 stars
It’s ok. Probably better that his solo stuff. Grew on me as it progressed. 3-4 stars.
Wow. Fitting today since Ozzy died yesterday (RIP). First album from them also one of their best. Terrific.
I actually dig it. Never hear it before. Would probably listen again. 3-4
I mean? I’m only 6 minutes in and I already love it. But I’m into jazz. Love hearing new to me great jazz albums.
Never heard before. It’s ok I reckon. Not much variety though.
Meh. Not into this old lo fi shit. And enough with the screaming on every track.
Excellent. What more to say? Oh yea, LOTR lyrics (awesome).
Don’t judge an album by its cover … don’t judge an album by its cover … don’t judge an album by its cover. It’s dance music. The album isn’t amazing or ground breaking (is it?) or anything. Not sure why it’s here.
Meh. It’s ok. History and all.
Good start with Hidden Place. Cocoon has some Kid A vibes. Pretty solid. Will need a re-listen.
Pretty solid. Southern rock in its goodness - guitar riffs - Rock - Yea man. 3-4 stars
Interesting fusion of a bunch of sounds. Not bad. Not sure how it holds up as an album though. 3-4?
I know I’m supposed to like The Band but I’m very bored by this. Yawn … now I’m reminded why I’ve never gotten into these guys after being exposed to them over and over through the years. Boring.
Actually expected to not like this very much - but it's quite good. 3.4 stars? Yea.
Excellent guitar. 4-5 stars
Oh cool live at the Fillmore. It’s also at SF? Strange that this is an album as it isn’t recorded at the same sesh. Still good though. Enjoy the jammin. 4 stars.
Not available on Apple Music. Starts off strong …5 tracks in still digging it. Not bad. First time listening (that I know of). 4 stars
In my time of dying might be one of their greatest songs ever. Great album. Longer though. Probably 5 stars.
Yea man. Never heard them before that I know of. Into it.
Love this. Excellent album
Not bad. Some great songs here. Probably high 3 to 4 stars.
Solid country/bluegrass album. Great vocals and song writing. 4 stars.
I’ll try my best to judge this by its merits alone and not that they released one of my favorite albums of the current decade. Still, their very first album rocks. So many bangers - 0 skips - 5 stars.
Excellent. Too little from him sadly. Great covers in here too. Great vocals. 4-5 stars.
Pretty good. Maybe not as good as the very similar one 10-13 years later.
Pretty good. Should listen to it again. Probably 3 to 4 stars.
Yea this is pretty shite. Maybe 2 tracks pulling this out of the gutter. Wanted to skip most though.
