Leonard Cohen - Dear Heather (1066)
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA240_.jpg

This is a pretty quiet album.

1. Go No More A-rovin'
This song's alright I suppose.

2. Because Of
So's this one.

3. The Letters
And this.

4. Undertow
:band:

5. Morning Glory
:jailed:

6. On That Day
:dj:

7. Villanelle For Our Time
Too much talking.

8. There For You
Yeah, this song's ok.

Unfortunately I can't remember what the rest of it's like, since it's been years since I last listened to it. Still, it's an alright album I suppose.

so they call themselves 'electronic performers'... where's the electronic guitar? the bass is fuzzy but that's no substitute for a rocking guitar solo. the drums don't sound right either. they're using the rap effect when they talk but the setting is wrong.

the next song is all about being touchy feely and then the chick doesn't even like him back because they still haven't played a guitar solo. their radio song won't ever get on the radio either no matter how hard they try to get to #1 until they start getting more solos in there.

the next tune has beck, at least that loser knows how to stick a guitar solo in his tunes now and then. after that is more spacey keyboard??? again? for real? this album sucks.

lucky and unhappy? it's exactly how you'll feel by this point. at least there's an acoustic guitar again but it's hardly electronic or rocking. the next tune is about boring people but at least it's got a wicked bass solo it's the ONLY cool thing so far on this snoozefest but it takes way too long to get there.

wonder milky bad word is another boring tune with all these weird boings and stuff and talking about carpets still no guitar solo.

'don't be light' is another spacey tune that the band forgot to record a wicked lead for, i mean there's all this pink floyd space out action but no wicked david gilmour lead. what gives? there's another bass solo but it's not that complicated and it doesn't last long and buddy from rush could totally rip through that solo with just his little finger.

caramel prisoner is the name of the last tune on the disc, more space out sans solo. are we supposed to be captured candy? a sweet captive? a blocked up skittles turd? because that's totally how this guitar solo-less album will make you feel. all this wasted pink floyd background stuff. two piddly bass solos don't make up for the lack of at least one ripping guitar solo.

this album is a total bag of lame with a side order of suck.

That sounds like me when I was 13 years old.

go ahead i'm curious.. does he work for pitchfork by any chance? I know it's par for the course to diss the more pretentious writers on their staff but i have read some truly dreadful reviews on there, just the worst kind of ego trips. WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE????

Um.... there's a lot of singing and stuff. It's pretty cool.

Edit: Also, Bjork is stacked.

Leonard Cohen—"I'm Your Man"
Mr. Cohen's suit is from Gieves & Hawkes and is available for purchase through an exclusive arrangement with Harrods. His Gucci sunglasses are inspired by those worn by the protagonist in the 1968 cult film Il Pene Del Monstro. His tee-shirt is by Hanes and was discovered at the Wal-Mart boutique in north suburban Montreal. The banana is by Chiquita.

This album was good. You should buy it. It probably won't cost much if you go out to buy a CD, but iTunes will rip you off, since this was released around a year ago and will most likely be on sale by now if you get your greasy tush to your local Target.
Beck writes good songs and deep lyrics, but I don't understand the cover art. It looks like the person on the right is coming at the person on the left with a pointy sextoy. Thats probably something deep too. My mom says its sound equitment, but that doesn't make any sense. Why are they randomly holding up sound equitment and facing each other? I guess its just another mystery of the universe.
Well, I guess you should probably go out and buy it now. You can trust me. I have taste.
