Leonard Cohen - Songs of Love& Hate

One of his most powerful works was his third record Songs Of Love and Hate. Released in 1971, it quickly became a cult classic. It's not too diverse of a record, especially when compared to his previous efforts, but it solidified his niche as the dark folk artist and the emotional focus on the record proved to make it powerful. Many critics claim it is one of the darkest records you may ever hear, and that may very well be true.
