So it makes a certain kind of contrary sense that Cohen would put out an offbeat topical collection two and a half decades later.\nThe Future is an odd duck of an album; it's also brave, funny, and fascinating. \"Give me back the Berlin Wall \/ Give me Stalin and St. Paul,\" Cohen petitions sardonically in the title track, adding, \"I've seen the future, brother: it is murder.\" \"Can't run no more with the lawless crowd \/ While the killers in high places say their prayers out loud,\" he intones in \"Anthem.\" In \"Democracy,\" he name-checks Tiananmen Square while surveying the United States (\"The cradle of the best and of the worst\"). Cohen has only improved with age as a vocalist; he sounds like a cross between  and . While the polished production takes some getting used to, it's somehow suitable that cooing background vocals and programmed tracks temper these low-boil diatribes. This is, after all,\nThe Future.\n--Steven Stolder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 075679139726\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0074645322629\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40680649359544,"sku":"2L-ARDQ-QWDU","price":3.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/51QYggVlB4L.jpg?v=1634092743","url":"https:\/\/id-shop-ca.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/the-future","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
