Leonard Cohen,The FutureThey all sound the same. Too many repeats of old songs. If you have his early music,don't waste your money on this one. Sorry!!.
His Best!
Leonard Cohen shines amazingly on this album. This album is one of my favorite albums of all time. the lyrics/sound/vocals are all in sync perfectly. This is a winner in every sence.
The Future
" If you can only purchase one CD, buy "More Best . Excellent! But, the best pieces are also on "More Best of Leonard Cohen. . . ".
The Future
It starts out with a bang with the track The future. The Future being Cohens 1992 release is nothing short of a stroke of genius. Cohen is such a talented lyrcist that I consider it to be the perfect mix between poetry and music. His vocals are as solid as ever before. The book-let is very interesting. On the cover we have a bird, a heart and a pair of handcuffs. It contains both lyrics and also a list of who played and what instruments they used. Sharon Robinson once again is collaborating with Cohen and as I written before I think this is a such an amazing combination. Waiting for the Miracle is my favorite track. This track is pure gold!.
I have seen the future
When Cohen sings, "I have seen the future. For those of you who are concerned about the drift of America over the last several decades, this album is the soundtrack of our country's descent. It is murder," he is talking about the arc through which we are falling. The poet says what the rest of us somehow sense but can't quite verbalize. Imagine Cohen in 1930s Germany. Except he is talking about us here in America, now, where we are and where we are going. "I have seen the future. It is murder. " The rest of the album is pretty good too. "Charlie Manson, the white man dancing. " All the way to the White House.
