Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 84.4/100, a mean average of 83.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

Leonard Cohen is an excellent song writer with this album being a strong testament for that. The fact that this is his debut and he is creating classics such as Suzanne and So Long, Marianne is extremely impressive. The music is just full of potential and it would have been a joy to watch his career unfold. His words are intelligent and mature and they stand out as some of the best at the time. I love the delivery of his words as well and I think his vocal is extremely strong. However, where this album struggles is in the musicianship. It can sound a little empty and simple at times but I think that is due to how early of a release this is. I think this album is more of a display of what he was going to become and that is why it is so loved as this is where it all began and there is so much potential on here that it makes it such an exciting release to listen to. Overall, this is a very strong start to a career but there is a lot that can be built upon this which makes me very excited to explore more from his discography.
Very good, enjoyable singer-songwriter album. I really like his deep, sad voice.
It's nice to see this album moving up the charts! I think Cohen's best will come later, but he deserves the respect for being one of the most clever songwriters of a generation.

Talvez seu maior clássico, belíssimo.

A really good album. Mostly acoustic but with some lovely touches added to lift the songs. Strongest section is Sisters of Mercy - So Long, Marianne - Het, That's No Way to Say Goodbye. Suzanne also good. I have Bonus tracks of which Store Room is a bit repetitive but the fuller instrumentation including drums on Blessed Is The Memory is super but can see why it was left off the original album which is more sparse.

Remarkably strong collection of songs for a debut album.

Suzanne is the standout track from this album but the lyrics are astonishing and beautiful very iconic voice.
Probably my favorite from Cohen. The lyrics are always great but sometimes the music is subpar, but not here. The arrangements and production are good on this album too
