Favorites: You Want It Darker (!), Leaving The Table, Travelling Light. It Seemed The Better Way (!), String Reprise / Treaty. Very melancholic not only in how it sounds, but also in the fact that it's the last album of Leonard Cohen, where he kind of steps on the journey of accepting the coming of his death. Or already accepting it a long time ago, as we hear it in the 'You Want It Darker'. This album gives me winter images. Sitting near your window, it's cold and dark outside, and the heavy blizzard setting in. You have your candle nearby, dimly lighting your room, like a small lighthouse in the ocean. And soon you'll have to put the candle out and go to sleep. Forever?
Favorites: Peter Piper, It's Tricky, Walk This Way (!), Is It Live, Raising Hell (!), Proud To Be Black Now I know where 'It's Tricky' came from. So nostalgic. Wasn't prepared for 'Walk This Way' with these sick ass guitar riffs and vocals damn! Thanks for the spit in my ears from 'Hit It Run', ig <3 Dig the vibe, tho. 'Raising Hell' hell yeaaaaaahhhh that guitarrrrrrrrraawrr. Definitely something that i'd pull while trying to finish all my assignments the night before deadline (bonus points if highly caffeinated). Just to feel that pump, you know. Especially from 'Dumb Girl'. Overall, so smooth and chill. Loved it.
Favorites: Burnout, Longview, Basket Case, Sassafras Roots. Makes me feel like I'm a silly teenager in 90s, who's going through it. Which was the goal, i think. The sound itches my brain and ears in a somewhat right way, but doesn't impress me that much! Lazy and kinda repetitive, honestly. Something to put in the background, just for it to drain all the other sounds around, but nothing more, you know?
