The Songs of Leonard Cohen was the first Leonard Cohen album, released well in his 30's. After travelling all over the world as a poet Mr. Cohen embarked into a career in music with one of the best folk albums ever made.
Every track is lush brilliance, Suzanne is sweeping in it's beauty, as is Master Song, Winter Lady and Sisters of Mercy. Almost all these songs are little more then acoustic guitar and vocals, Leonards voice seems to get hated a lot for being dreary but I think it adds an almost surreal, mystical quality to the plucked strings that make up the songs.
The lyrics are the main draw, Cohen's background as a poet lead him to write some of the greatest songs of all time to be covered and later popularised by thousands of other artists such as Jeff Buckley. He really is an incredible songwriter. Most of these songs have a uniform melancholy to them, there is very little that changes musically but it doesn't matter because the music that is here is some of the best ever recorded.
The Songs of Leonard Cohen is brilliant, a true masterpiece of a record that often gets shunned because of being a talentless musician, but I don't think this is true at all. The chills run down my spine everytime I listen to it.

Goddamn if I aint stumped to bits. That is a proper real album of poetry right there. One of the first of its kind no less, and I could honestly see this getting a 5 if I dedicate myself to it better

Wonderful songwriting. The sparse string arrangements and Cohen's minimalistic vocal range merely support the beauty of his songs.

Every song on this album is pleasant to the ear, but only a few stuck out to me as great. In total, I do not understand the classic status.

I have a fondness for Cohen's charismatic voice. It carries the songs a long way, along with the melancholic melodies. Suzanne is a classic. The rest of the album is good enough, a bit one-note (No Way to Say Goodbye for example sounds like a poor man's Suzanne), but it's hard to deny that there are still very good tracks in the second half. - 7.5

This album is one of the most evident in the proof that pop is sick and good.

A classic folk album if there ever was one, Cohen can't sing that well in a traditional sense but more than makes up for it with passionate, well crafted lyrics that sit well at home in the lush, intricate acoustic guitar based arrangements here. Every song really does it for me, this is one of those albums I always feel at home returning to after not having listened to for a while.
