    He is not only an excellent musician, poet and singer (gifted with a golden voice!) but also someone who gathers congenial, extraordinary artists around him always succeeding with an impressing, wonderful performance... yet he embodies the utmost humility and convincing simplicity as a real human, not only a star... he's simply a genius of the best kind... CHAPEAU, Leonard & band...!!!! :))))

      A congenial, extraordinary background tape. Yes.
      I think an artist like Leonard Cohen deserves more than poppy, synth electronics only to make him more accessible to a larger audience (the wallet of the music industry).
      You might think there is credit for the backing vocals. Yet, besides auto-tune for the lead singer, the background choir has been dubbed, usually between 4 - 6 times to guarantee an almost flawless performance while keeping the sound as natural as possible. It might be sobering but this is since decades the normal procedure.

      A lot of the 80s era studio albums really havent aged well in terms of arangement and recording. The style of music he does really doesnt suit the sterile situation of a studio, especially the way music was recorded in the 80s. His live performance arangements where way more human and soulful imho. Less Yamaha DX7 and more Rhodes stage piano, so to speak. Its kinda frusturating actually. He wrote some of his best music in that period, but the arangements just yeah a bit too 80s, and I kinda suspect forced on him by the label. Cos I know that in a situation where he had the best people and no commercial pressures, these songs could have sounded as vibrant and amazing as the versions he did live where.

    From the first time I heard Leonard Cohen, some 47 years ago, and until now, he is my favorite artist and I don't see who could take his place. I was also incredibly lucky to see him live in the Roman Amphitheater in Pula when he last time performed in Croatia.
    RIP dear Leonard, you live on through your unsurpassed work.

As you can guess he is a Democrat, a fool. I moved out. Because I was lower than the dog...a dog I trained, and made his life better, in other words, I messed up big time.
