I'm not getting it. Is it about the bland melodies? Is it

>>73433452
No, that's all there is to it. You've cracked it anon! After all these decades of it being widely regarded as a masterwork, Anonymous has opened the music world's eyes to its mediocrity. Let Cohen's pathetic attempt at art be wiped from the records and never spoken of again!

It's about feels.

>>73433452
It's about how everything comes together, about feeling and atmosphere, every song has something to say, it's like a short story with melancholic background music.
Best way to listen to him is at dark, and just listen to the songs.

Why not all?

It's about his goddamned TRIPLETS.

Why does every Cohen thread die so quickly?

>>73433719
So it actually is about the pseudo introspective lyrics huh

>>73433703
This

What is the difference between introspective and pseudo introspective?

>Diamonds in the Mine
How can an album have such great songs and then Diamonds in the Mine as well?

Reminder to read his novels as well friendos.
>tfw learning he died and then listening to You Want It Darker
First time I shed a tear over a musician's death

Diamonds in the Mine is fantastic, the contrast between him fucking screaming and the relaxed instrumentation and backing vocals gets me hard

This, without the hard part.

I know it's a pleb way to put it, but I love the feeling of this record. No other record sound like a comfy talk with your best friend while both of you are old and regretted. His lyrics are ecclesiastical and sacred, like bible itself. Fuck, this is so good

>ecclesiastical and sacred, like bible itself.
