A best-of that comprises cuts from two studio efforts and a live album? For a lesser artist, the consumer would be well within his rights to cry foul. In Leonard Cohen's case, however, virtually every track he's ever recorded merits anthologizing. MORE BEST OF contains the strongest songs from I'M YOUR MAN and THE FUTURE, two of Cohen's latter-day masterpieces that combine his dark, poetic lyrics with an ironically glossy sonic framework. To add some historical perspective, live versions of early cuts like "Suzanne" are included. The depth (both spiritual and physical) of Cohen's readings here stands in sharp contrast to the original recordings. To rope in the diehard fans, there are two new cuts included, the self-deprecating shuffle "Never Any Good" and a short spoken-word piece, "The Great Event."

Report this review  For Some Dark & Somber Songs For You, Leonard Cohen is Your ManReview created: 04/27/02 by: thevoid99 -- a member of Epinions Pros: Excellent Latter-Day Compilation from Leonard Cohen. Cons: Some missing gems from his "Recent Songs" album. Throughout his thirty-five year career, there has been no singer-songwriter who possessed a chilling yet, enduring influence as had Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen did. Cohen s music always contained a sense of sadness and poignancy that matched his deep and somber vocals that had became constant in his music. Cohen for years had always sang about dark subjects in his songs like Suzanne , Sisters Of Mercy , Bird On A Wire , Chelsea Hotel No. 2 and many more in his influential career that would inspire famous alternative rock bands like the Goth-rock band Sisters of Mercy, Concrete...
