FINANCIAL TIMES “The Drift, [Scott Walker's] first album since Tilt in 1995, should do his cult appeal no harm, for it distances him so far from mainstream pop that it seems to exist in a musical galaxy of its own devising. Alternately unsettling and ridiculous, its clanking, industrial chords and weird outbursts of sound (one track features meat being pummelled) resemble a horror film scored by an avant-garde composer....Nonetheless there is something faintly magnificent about The Drift’s uncompromising aura of difficulty.”
