Leonard Cohen - Songs Of Love And Hate flac album

Songs of Love and Hate is the third studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen. Produced by Bob Johnston, the album was released on March 19, 1971, through Columbia Records. Cohen reunited with producer Bob Johnston, who was at the helm for the singer's previous album Songs From a Room, and also brought back guitarist Ron Cornelius, who acted as leader of Cohen's new crew of backing musicians, christened The Army.

Songs of Love and Hate is one of Leonard Cohen's most emotionally intense albums - which, given the nature of Cohen's body of work, is no small statement.

Leonard Cohen, Canada's most influential -turned-singer songwriter, is arguably the greatest lyricist of all time - a bold statement, I know, but one I am willing to defend to death (yes, much better than Dylan). Cohen is undoubtably the poet laureate of melancholia. Bearing this in mind, I say with no hesitation that Cohen's third offering - 1971's 'Songs of Love and Hate' - is, lyrically, Cohen's greatest album. The album also spawned two fan favourites; "Famous Blue Raincoat", and "Joan Of Arc".

Songs From A Room, Cohen’s second album, was for me a great improvement over his first because of restraint in the use of strings, clarions and angelic choirs, and because the compositions themselves were fairly even in quality (with Bird on the Wire and Story of Issac two really tight, clean stand-outs). And short - he shouldn’t be straining the frail but frequently quite lovely melodies to five and six minutes, as he does on Songs of Love and Hate

If there is one thing that Leonard Cohen teaches us, it’s that being happy is completely overrated. No matter what state you are in, exuberant, joyous, or just plain content, the opening guitar line on Avalanche, the first track on Songs of Love and Hate, immediately instills a palpable feeling of dread. And that’s the best part about the entire album. It can alter your mood so violently that by the end of the it you are left stunned, wondering how nine simple pieces of music could change how you feel so drastically. The last lyrics on Songs of Love and Hate, in Joan of Arc, sum up the album eerily well: I saw her wince, I saw her cry I saw the glory in her eye Myself I long for love and light But must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?
