Leonard Cohen's Masterpiece Triumphs
5 out of 5 stars
Ujuk_AOctober 13, 2025United Kingdom🇬🇧
This could very well be my all-time favorite Leonard Cohen record. I've forever admired his songwriting prowess, but the production on this one is absolutely top-notch. Producer John Lissaeur, being a recent grad, was a stroke of luck to collaborate with Cohen. The unadorned yet perfectly fitting instrumentation behind Cohen elevated his music to a level where he could keep his poetic finesse while also being a clever musical composer. This album is firing on all cylinders and gifted us with more than a few classics from Cohen, including my personal favorite track of his, "I Tried To Leave You". The US second edition (with new cover art) sounds phenomenal.

Flawless pressing. The sound quality is stunning, with minimal surface noise (top-notch materials and craftsmanship). They've truly done this album proud with this release. 🙏🏽🔊🔊❤️

Man, this pressing is absolutely fantastic. I own a Pitman Pressing with the edited cover, but this Canadian one is way better, with a sound that's so full and rich.
Two Sundazed Pressings?
5 out of 5 stars

I've got a copy with KPG@CA in the grooves. No sign of Wes Garland here...? It's surely the Sundazed pressing I own. So, are there two Sundazed pressings mastered by different folks?
