This is the kind of album you put on at three in the morning with candles, listening to it in the semi-darkness, lying down on the floor amongst the clutter and junk that litters your lonely bedroom.
Songs of Love and Hate delivers just what its name implies, a selection of songs that signify longing, hatred, reflections of love lost, brutal pessimism and blind optimism. It is not for people who are weak of heart.
I am not going divulge much further on the subject of the album as I love it on a level that makes it impossible to elaborate upon with the use of the English language.
The song writing here far surpasses what any other song writer (dead or alive) you care to mention could come up with. Period.
Leonard Cohen is the ultimate tortured artist and this is his impossibly perfect master piece. It is something that will be eternally breath taking and simultaneously heart wrenching. Immerse your self into the darkest heart of them all: Leonard Cohen.
