Query: Was he joking?

Although this album definitely has some strong tracks, overall it was a big letdown. Cohen somehow goes was overboard into his own style, and it feels like he is doing a parody of himself. While many of his previous albums are very haunting and engaging, this one just leaves me feeling embarrassed for him.Really, I'm shocked to see all these other great reviews.
