On Friday we ran Dorian Lynskey's brilliant Leonard Cohen interview, in which the legendary singer discussed the songwriting process, Hallelujah cover versions and more.

Because we're big teases we promised you an album stream on Monday. And because we're true to our word, here it is.

In her review for the Observer, Kitty Empire said: "Old Ideas is not all about death, betrayal and God, juicy as these are. As the title suggests, it is more of the stuff that has made Cohen indispensable for six decades: desire, regret, suffering, misanthropy, love, hope, and hamming it up." She described it as a work of "wry righteousness".

We love it, too, so let us know what you think in the comments below …
