Songs from a Room is a broody album. The music is folk. It's slow, dark and personal.
The songs fit together well. The music complements the lyrical content and does well to focus the listener on the singer.
I like this album. It's definitely worth listening to. Leonard Cohen makes his folk music personal, but in an emotionally detached and cold way. Story of Isaac is a good example. In that way, his style of folk seems a lot different from the other folk artists on the 1001 Albums list.
The stand out songs are Bird on the Wire, Story of Isaac, The Partisan, Seems So Long Ago, Nancy, The Butcher, You Know Who I Am and Tonight Will Be Fine.
★★★★★★★★★☆
