Trivia / Songs of Love and Hate

• Creator Breakdown: Cohen would frequently in interviews reflect back on the time he spent writing and recording the album as a very difficult period in his life, commenting in 1991 that "absolutely everything was beginning to fall apart around me: my spirit, my intentions, my will. So I went into a deep and long depression." This is very much reflected in the general tone of the album which is (in)famously dark.
