Summary: Very nice CD but... I'd lost track of Mr. Cohen until the new movie "I'm Your Man" came out this year. The movie goes into the back story on a song I'd never heard before "Hallelujah". I had to have it and found it here on 'Various Positions'. You HAVE to buy this CD for the song "Hallelujah". Hear it once and you will never get it out of your head (dare I say soul?). Summary: Cohen's Best This is Cohen at the peak of his ability and the last Cohen album to use real musicians throughout. "The Hunter", "Hallelujah", "The Night Comes On", and "If it Be Your Will" are brilliant. "The Captain" is a more mature version of "The Butcher" (from "Songs from a Room"). At first I thought "Heart with No Companion" objectionably drab, but now I see the album needs something lighter at this particular point; it actually works well in context. The reviewers who prefer bowdlerized versions (which, by the way, are not "covers"; this is not what the term "cover" means) of "Hallelujah" are nuts. Summary: "Hallelujah!" Obviously Leonard Cohen has numerous great albums out there, however this is one of my favorites. I consider "Various Positions" to be part of my essential trilogy, along with "I'm Your Man" and "The Future". Truth be known, I almost skipped this review because I felt this album is beyond description. The music and lyrics are just absolutely amazing, and I feel bad for those who have yet to discover Leonard Cohen. This is one of few albums I can put on in my livingroom, and just stare out the window for 45 minutes. Listening to it is an event. His perfect songs "Dance Me To The End Of Love", "Hallelujah", and "If It Be Your Will" are all here, but I also love "Law", "Coming Back To You", and "Hunter's Lullaby". If looking for a collection, I suggest "More Best Of", or his 2-disc "Essential Cohen". Summary: Powerful music from a talented writer Leonard Cohen's songs are awesome to listen to. His talents as a musician and writer are apparent in any of his songs. In my opinion, there isn't a bad one in the bunch. I'm no musical expert, but I don't think there could have been an improvement on any of his songs. His music is not without religious influence, but I'm hard-pressed to determine what kind of religious message he's trying to convey. I first heard Leonard Cohen's music on "Pump up the volume", a movie starring Christian Slater about a high-school student running a pirate radio station. In a couple of the scenes of the movie, Slater's character plays some of Leonard Cohen's songs, including "If it be your will." His songs have also been used in popular movies like Shrek, which features "Hallelujah," sang by someone else. Summary: Wow! Lewis in pop-music! Oh, my God, that's a great album! Here you will find essential Christianity presented popularly and in disguise of popular songs. Can be compared with "John Weshley Harding" by Dylan and with books by Clyve Lewis. It's a VERY good album. |
