NOTES: Cohen's best album, I'm Your Man, is also his most sophisticated, with the artist exhibiting a sure sense of, and control over, his music. A panoply of keyboards and driving basslines hint at the hedonism of dance music, but the arrangements echo the high, spacey, unresolved harmonies of Weimar Berlin. All told, they form an ironic counterpoint to the songs' pessimism about the music industry and the modern world. "First We Take Manhattan" is Cohen's fantasy of commercial success, conflated with fascism, a vision of victory undercut by the spoils of a battle not really worth winning. In "Everybody Knows," a worried lover meditates on faithlessness and AIDS; in "The Tower of Song," he ruefully contemplates his career. "I was born like this, I had no choice," Cohen deadpans, "I was born with the gift of a golden voice."
