How dark do you want it to be? The voice of Leonard Cohen on this LP with not too cheerful songs is in the deep black. As we are used to from the master, the lyrics are great again. In particular "Leaving the table" I find this the best song besides the title song You want it darker. The man is in the living room with his deeply lived voice. Magnificent.
