- BrlliantThis album is pure gold. Some people might think it is for people who don't like Leonard Cohen's voice but who nonetheless recognise his skill as a song-writer. Personally, I think he is great and I think this album is great so it need not be one or the other - Leonard Cohen fans can like this album too, as it is full of sensitive but different interpretations of his songs. My favourite track is probably Avalanche IV sung by Jean-Louis Murat in French, which is quite brilliant. I agree with other ... Read More

- Beautiful interpretationsI'm Your Fan unlocks the broad sweep of Cohen's composing talent in a dazzling variety of voices and styles. First the gripes: Nick Cave's pointless Tower Of Song is a waste and the House Of Love's tepid Who By Fire provides no new perspectives. Also, REM's messy First We Take Manhattan is stupid. But gems abound: Ian McCulloch soars through Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye, adding his own melancholy twist to the song's sublime sadness; The Pixies storm through I Can't Forget at 200 km/h while That ...

- Buy this for one track aloneI love Leonard Cohen. I know lots of people do not enjoy his voice and this is an ideal album for them. You have some of his loveliest songs sung by other voices. Not always good voices or ideal interpretations but, nevertheless, you get a choice of tuneless voices.
Except for one outstanding track. The final one. Hallelujah sung by John Cale. Simply sublime and the only one, well I think so anyway, that is better than the original.

- wholesome music that has a real purposethis complilation has just about the lot, with the likes of the amazing but unfortunately now defunct pixies and classic rem. hours of enjoyment from just one cd? never! but oh yes you can! there is also a few gems from james and lloyd cole which are just too good too miss. all round a great album apart from a dodgy one from the house of love which eventually becomes likable after a few times! a must have album which your other cd's are longing to snuggle up close to in your informed collection (i hope).
