What do you think of this album?
>tfw no one on /mu/ cares about scott walker
The Drift was better. This album didn't take itself as seriously and was too repetitive for it's own good

>This album didn't take itself as seriously
that was the best part about the album

Thanks for replying anon.
See I haven't quite gotten into The Drift yet, I've listened a couple times, but I'm still digesting it I'd say. I just really love the production of the guitars on Bish Bosch, as well as the delivery of the vocals. I have a hard time choosing between Tilt and Bish Bosch as my favorite Walker LP at the time being.

I enjoy some music like that, but certain parts felt forced and uninteresting. Especially when it doesn't add anything.

Tilt is good, but in my opinion, The Drift is Walker crossing the threshold, at the edge of insanity, before he jumps during Bish Bosch. Everything about The Drift is unsettling, and unlike its predecessor, it has slightly more diversity. It accomplishes everything it sets out to.
>>60951982
This is kind of what I was trying to refer to. I enjoyed Zercon, but moments like that took me out of the experience.
>>60952085
idk the only moment that really took me out of the experience was 'that moment' in Corps De Blah, which unfortunately outside of that segment is the best song on the whole fucking record.
for such a inaccessible album i've always thought that it has plenty of catchy parts
epizootics altogether is a pretty catchy tune
One of the best records of all time.
>>60951926
But it isn't repetitive at all.
>>60952085
Do you know the story for Zercon? He's a court jester for atilla the Hun, mocking the death of his once great empire.
>>60952134
I liked "Epizootics!" the most. It definitely showed Walker being able to jump from rhythm to rhythm, but in a precise and not-perturbing presentation.
>>60952190
Phrasing is crazy catchy imo.
>>60952194
There's a reason for practically ever song to be ones favorite from the record really. There's nothing but quality here.
>>60952193
The repetitive parts in Bish Bosch for me are the guitars. There always seems to be some sort of metallic riff in each song on the album, or just similar rhythms if anything. Also yes, I do know the background the Zercon, but I still find it being too "wacky" for its own good. I wish he could have approached it in a different, more sinister way.
>>60952247
I like Phrasing as well. It's short and to the point.
>y-you guys didn't forget me about me... right?
>>60952284
I mean it's not like the record lost all seriousness the whole thing is atonal. There's just as much tension as The Drift.
That string feature in Corps for instance is terrifying.
>>60952352
Of course it didn't lose all seriousness, I just felt like The Drift executed what Bish Bosch did better.
>>60952348
This record was decent, probably on par with Bish Bosch. I've never been that big of a Sunn O))) fan.
>>60952392
>on par with Bish Bosch
Nah, Soused is like 4AD trying to make up for Bish Bosch existing at all. Not to say that Scott Walker didn't actively try to work with Sunn O))) himself but I could seriously imagine some representative from 4AD trying to get Scott to do something that could appeal to a wider audience like Soused did. Bish Bosch, while highly acclaimed, was the definition of polarizing, especially when most people who buy Walkers albums buy them on wax, and it's at least $30 brand new (Bish Bosch that is).
Soused was a great middle ground for people unfamiliar with Walkers work, people who were weirded out by Bish Bosch, and those who like Sunn O))).
That being said, the main issue with Soused is that it isn't weird enough. It's pretty straight forward for a Scott Walker record at the time of release.
>>60952392
Totally disagree personally I think Bosch is just a finer execution of The Drift.
The real difference between the records is in the orchestrations: I appreciate the more minimal and spacious tracks on Bosch. It feels more organized than The Drift.
>>60952441
Parts of it reminded me of Lulu by Lou Reed and Metallica, which I wasn't absolutely disgusted by. Soused definitely could have been better, but the two musicians styles are vastly different to begin with
>>60952446
Opinions are opnions, I guess. I actually like the atmospheric long songs on The Drift.
>>60952499
Except Soused was executed much MUCH better than Lulu. I can see what you mean though.
>>60952517
>Except Soused was executed much MUCH better than Lulu
I never said it wasn't
>>60952531
I know. I was just saying that myself.
I personally enjoy Lulu.
