   Thus far the record of the new century, from an artist who made some of last century's best records, i.e. Scott 3. Psst... These aren�39;t waltzes for dodo's. psst. This noirish take on life in a post modern world is accurate and revelatory. psst. And not, I might add with touches of absurdist humor..psst. There has always been an eerie strain running through Scott's recordings, now with this stripped down, bleak, spare approach the essence of life, if not music itself, is laid bare for all to see, and for all to hear.psst...… Expand

   This is an extremely difficult album that a lot of people will hate. You can tell just by reading the user reviews which of these people actually know what to expect from a Walker album and those who just listened based on a Metacritic score or Pitchfork review. It took me about two months (and dozens of listens) to penetrate this album. When I finally did, I found it terrifying, deep, and breath-taking.

   quite interesting, i'd have to disagree with user reviews here so far. Keep in mind I don't usually like experimental music. But this album on the contrary is quite entertaining and unique. The main thing I look for when hearing an artist is their songwriting. It doesn't matter what style of music you play if you have good songwriting you can make any style of music work. His songwriting is nothing short of excellent and is a breath of fresh air in the stale indie music scene, which in my opinion the indie genre has become more of a style, than a category based on your record label or independence from a record label and recording budget. The lyrics and good production is what brings depth to this album, tons of depth for repeated listenings.… Expand

   I respect what Scott Walker attempts to do every ten years or so, and sometimes, as with parts of Tilt, the results are impressive and even listenable (e.g the Jacques Brel covers). Alas, for all his Walker's aestheticism, this CD will join Neil Young's WELD and Lou Reed's METAL MACHINE MUSIC in the "records to empty a party at 3 a.m" hall of fame.… Expand
