Album notes
Perhaps not even Scott Walker truly understands this record, which isn't to say that it it's not one of the most ambitious and ultimately rewarding musical experiences of the last few years; it's just that exactly what Walker was thinking when he made TILT remains a mystery to this day. Even Brian Eno, a huge Walker fan and no stranger to the avant-garde, apparently had to walk away from the sessions early on in the recording.
Longtime Scott Walker fans shouldn't expect either the Brechtian song-stories of his solo material, or his Spector-influenced work with The Walker Brothers. TILT is the sound of a man swallowed whole by the music industry. Unidentifiable noises pop in and out of the mix as Walker's voice, a beautiful baritone almost unequaled in pop, floats ethereally around, at times seemingly diving deep into an undersea echo chamber. The lyrics are more haiku than iambic pentameter and those expecting a chorus (much less a verse), will be severely disappointed. Whatever TILT is, it's unlike anything you have ever heard.

Editorial reviews
3.5 Stars (out of 5) - ...obtuse, sepulchral music that...matches the ambient extremity of Aphex Twin and the queasy claustrophobia of Tricky....a chilling, often magnificent view into the abyss from a true iconoclast.
Rolling Stone (10/16/1997)

...On most of TILT, Walker deliberately short circuits the awesome virtuosity of his voice...by singing in a cooler, more neutral style...
Vibe (10/01/1997)

Ranked #31 in Mojo's The 50 Most Out There Albums Of All Time - [A] journey into evil and despair.
Mojo

8 (out of 10) - ...An unprecedented mix of industrial noise, shambling tone poetry, and lilting orchestration, TILT...is a picaresque that turns on suggestive character studies of condemned crusaders and exiles....Walker's unearthly voice has never sounded so resourceful...
Spin (10/01/1997)

Record Collector Condition Guide and Grading System

I use the Record Collector Grading System to describe the product:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
