Regarding Nick Butler's claim that this is "Tilt, part 2" and that it doesn't really cover any new ground - I don't really understand how he came to that conclusion. The Drift does pick up on elements introduced on Tilt (Mostly in the track The Cockfighter, which was the darkest and harshest track on the album) but takes them to new levels of extremity. The album Tilt had a sense of unease and harshness under the surface that felt like it could burst out at any time, only really doing so in the Cockfighter and very briefly in "Face on Breast"; "The Drift" puts it on full display.

Vocals too loud on the mix, repetitive lyrics, boring song structures. The whole rest is
masterclass.

A horror story ... this is way better than Opeth's Watershed wich is basically a re-interpretation;

Tilt was among the most shocking records of the 90s, if for nothing more than the fact that the artists responsible for some of the best art-pop moments ever had gone entirely avant-garde. So maybe it's the shock of the new wearing off, but 11 years on, Scott Walker has delivered Tilt, Part 2, and it's an inferior follow-up. That's not to say it's a bad album - it remains as unique, disarming, ambitious, and fascinating as Tilt, and "Cue" is probably his best avant-garde number (although it seems slightly derivative of Penderecki to these ears). Pulling off a record this dark and unrelenting without becoming cheesy and over-doing it is a difficult trick, and for that, The Drift is one of 2006's most impressive offerings. But overall, this isn't the brilliant, revelatory record Tilt was. Only get this if you want more of the same - great as it is, this has been done better.

This album is one of the hardest albums to listen to that I have ever heard, I'm all for listening to new music and expanding musical horizons and tastes but this is the most annoying and pretentious album I have evr heard.
Its seems to be arty for the sake of being arty and this guys voice is terrible!, he sounds to me to have the same voice that the characters from south park have when they are taking the piss and putting together a montage.
No album should take this much effort to get into, I wont be spinning this one for quite a while!
