Music reviews of Scott 4
Music Review: A finely crafted work of late '60s songwriting with almost impossibly confident vocals
Rating: 5 Stars
My introduction to Scott Walker was his 2006 album The Drift, an avant-garde work of horrifying nightmares where the music consists of piercing bursts of noise and Walker's vocals speak of the twisted history of the 20th century. I had always heard that SCOTT 4 marked the high point of his 1960s output, but I wasn't sure what to expect from an artist nearly four decades younger than the Scott Walker today. Scott Walker's music here turns out to be more closer to popular chansons--he had only just moved from covering Jacques Brel to singing exclusively his own songs. These songs are, however, pop music writ large with orchestral arrangements. Walker's avant-garde interests are subtle: the use of a harpsichord, a song that is little more than a summary of Bergman's masterpiece film "The Seventh Seal",
The album is of its time in its sound, and sometimes in its lyrics as in "Hero of the War" is a critique of US involment in Vietnam, focusing on the toll it was taking on America's young men, who were coming back wounded to communities that had already forgotten about them. Nonetheless, the album does not sound dated or rooted in the 1960s. Rather, it is all in all one of the best singer-songwriter albums in my collection, and the music is catchy but still deep.
Description of Scott 4

Originally released in 1969, '4' was released to much critical acclaim & was the first Walker album to feature entirely original material. Tracks include the Ingmar Bergma influenced 'The Seventh Seal' & 'The Old Man's Back Again' Other songs show engaging folk, country, and soul influences that were largely buried on his previous solo albums. 2000, 24 bit digitally remastered edition with restored original sleeve.
