Old Ideas - Leonard Cohen

The Canadian's twelfth studio album released 44 years after his first, Old Ideas has been declared to contain all the aspects that have made Cohen so well loved and respected.

4/5 The Guardian says "it is more of the stuff that has made Cohen indispensable for six decades: desire, regret, suffering, misanthropy, love, hope, and hamming it up” while

All Music Guide says "Cohen’s topical standards, on yearning, struggle, spirituality, love, loss, lust, and mortality are all in abundance here, offered with a poet's insight.”. • "It is, in short, and as we might have expected, a work of genius"

5/5 The Telegraph, "A quite brilliant release from an unmissable artist" BBC
