3rd studio album by Leonard Cohen is like its predecessor produced by Bob Johnston, who has build a more fully orchestrated minimalist sound, which comes out as a much richer and harmonic sounding album than his two first albums.
It's his third consecutive album and deservedly inclusion of "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die".
