100You have to adjust to its lack of ornamentation and let it settle, seep, uncurl like smoke or love. And there are songs here to equal his best. [Album Of The Month, Dec 2001, p.100]
-
The first four tracks... [are] as powerful as any he's written.
-
He's never sounded more sensuous. [12 Oct 2001, p.88]
-
80[Robinson's] kind of soft rock-- closer to "I Want to Know What Love Is" by Foreigner than I'm comfortable with-- probably isn't going to score many points with the indie crowd, but it's not going to throw off your concentration for very long.
-
80While Ten New Songs is not an attempt to break new ground, its sophistication and unassuming depth are almost worth the decade-long wait. [Oct/Nov 2001, p.103]
-
Cohen's poetic vision remains the dominant element on this elegiac set.
-
Ten New Songs manages to sustain loss's fragile beauty like never before and might just be the Cohen's most exquisite ode yet to the midnight hour.
-
Beneath the plasticky politeness is the same old wry fatalism that the likes of Smog continue to strive for.
-
70It's not inappropriate to think of Ten New Songs as an audio book of poetry with musical accompaniment.
-
70His relentless intelligence is itself a consolation, bearing gifts of order and sly humour -- though not so many haunting tunes as on, say I'm Your Man. [Nov 2001, p.100]
-
60Arguably his best record in 20 years.
-
Ten New Songs is all introspection, closer in sound to a technologically updated Songs From a Room.
-
5810 mediocre new songs.
-
This is the first time he's sounded less than vital.
