great reissue! (about the LP reissue on Sundazed)

Sound has a little more 'low' than my old version from the 70-ies. Really nice reissue on Sundazed: quiet, flat, thick vinyl (about 160 gram).
The songs are great,this is my favourite Cohen album: play it loud!.


Warm and entertaining album
The songs seem a bit more put together and produced than his past efforts, but they are pretty creative and entertaining all the same. As for as Leonard Cohen albums go, this one will most likely not disappoint. I'm not very in to Cohen, but I'm sure any Cohen fan that does not yet have this album will be very pleased with it.

Truly amazing work
This man is a true visionary and poet. Cohen is able to craft such wonderful songs that are just unreveled by anything else.


Pretty Good
The small stories he tells range from desolation, sardonic views of the world, to drunken hysteria. I have had Cohens first three albums for several years and enjoy them profusely. The album title shows that a lot of the songs are about love and this is true. This collection is not the strongest prose of Cohens but there are some very poppy and uplifting songs. .


New Skin for the Old Ceremony
Once more Cohen showcases his immense talent with tracks such as Chelsea Hotel and Who By Fire. New Skin for the Old Ceremony is grand record from Cohen. Cohen's lyrics are filled with immense intelligence, wit and sometimes a quirky sense of humour. The cover is very beautifull and depicts the spiritual union of the male and female principle. For some reason they made a cheap book-let and that is such a shame for such a wonderful recording.
