Reviews"It’s hard to imagine a richer, finer or more satisfying finale than this. There’s no question the man’s earned his smoke break.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "This is Cohen's gift to music lovers: a realistically grim, spiritually radiant and deeply poetic worldview, generally spiked with a romantic thrum and an existential wink.", "The production, by his son Adam, is lush but lean: Crisp guitar lines, the steady whispery whisk of percussion, and the occasional orchestral flourish surround vocals that sound like they’ve spent the past six decades in a rock tumbler lined with gravel and mescal." -- Grade: A-, "Cohen Has Long Been Preoccupied with Death, and Never more So than on the Eve of His Own Passing.", "Making peace with the world and oneself is a theme that runs throughout YOU WANT IT DARKER. Tracks like 'Treaty,' 'Leaving The Table,' 'On The Level' and 'Traveling Light' each examine the duties and pitfalls of mortal life."

  • Fitting masterpiece

    Slightly surreal listening to this album after the master has departed. Classic Cohen, helped in no small way by his son Adam who has beautifully and skillfully wrapped wonderful music and choruses around Leonard,s lyrics and produced an almost chilling and sometimes bleak account of some of his life experiences, though a near masterpiece no less, back to some of his best work. After listening a few times its one of my favourites. We wanted it Darker - we got it!!!!

  • My favourite CD

    This CD was recommended to me and before buying it I listened on 'YouTube' I was blown away with Leonard Cohen on this CD so I ordered it off eBay. I listen to it everyday it's in my car, it's on my PC, I'm hooked on "You Want It Darker"

  • A masterpiece!

    A humbling, personal end to a stellar career. Quite possibly in his top five best albums, and definitely the greatest of his final comeback trilogy.

  • Leonard Cohen.

    Songwriter, composer, wordsmith, touches on all humanity bad and good. Engrossing and thought provoking. Leonard Cohen, rest in peace, you did well.
