I really wanted to like this album. First of all because Cohen is Canadian and secondly because his song "Hallelujah" might be one of the best songs ever written. Unfortunately I didn't like it. Lyrically the songs were pretty good. You can tell that Cohen was a writer and a poet before becoming a musician. Musically it was ok, a little bit too folk for my tastes, but not bad. What I didn't like about it is his voice. He just is not that good of a singer, and it really, for me anyways, takes away from the experience."Joan of Arc"
