Scott Walker is best known for his time as a 60s pop star as part of the Walker Brothers, famous for hits such as 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Any More'. Since then however he has become a recluse, appearing every few years to release increasingly weird solo albums before disappearing again. The Drift, released in 2006, is his latest album, and is a very strange release indeed.

Products similar to The Drift - Scott Walker
A very good album that carries on the Runrig sound 30 years after they formed 
People will be wary about the new lead singer, but needn't be, he really suits the bands sound honest, thoughtful too honest Great singing/guitar playing The lyrics can be a bit clumsy...... All tracks except Guiding LightI Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love - My Chemical Romance
Less pop oriented, varied songs, interesting music and lyrics. good production. Some will find it a bit too emo. Only a few brilliant songs
The Wombats Proudly Present... A Guide To Love, Loss And Desperation - Wombats
Brilliant Debut album Has a few songs that let the album down
The Final Experiment - Ayreon
Ambitious and enthusiastic rock opera for sci-fi/fantasy fans. Confusing moral message, some really bad lyrics and some boring songs.
Suffer - Bad Religion
great songs, bad religion at their best some of the guitar needs sorting out
Revelation - Armored Saint
Solid modern heavy metal with good vocals. Doesn't recapture the old spirit.
Minutes To Midnight - Linkin Park
Great CD, lots of great songs on it not exactly what linkin park fans are used to
How Could Hell Be Any Worse - Bad Religion
Classic Californian punk, with a nicely raw sound. Few songs distinguish themselves.
Evil Is Forever - Astral Doors
An improvement with further power metal influence and epic songs done properly. Hammond organ and other hard rock throwbacks.
Actual Fantasy - Ayreon
Approachable Ayreon without the flamboyance. Less distinctive and exciting as a result.
01011001 - Ayreon
Interesting concept and some enjoyable prog metal for Ayreon fans. Feels like a derivative step backwards, and constrained by concept.
