Really?
Other peopl reckon Scott 3 is better than 4. Possibly because they got too used to 4, and 3 is much like it.
I don't think "Till the band come in" is that bad anyway.

I thought it was just me who had never really connected with 3.

3 is probably my favorite after 4, and "If You Go Away" is easily in my top 5 Scott songs.

Scott 3 is fantastic! It's Raining Today, Copenhagen, Two Weeks.., If You Go Away. Stone cold classics ppl.

"30 century man" basically invented Julian Cope

Scott 3 is the best of the 60s albums, you guys are completely fucking nuts.

I have trouble remembering which track was on which album, they all blend together in my memory. Like 4 chapters of the same album. I probably liked the second or third the best (of those four).

I always thought I was in a tiny minority thinking Scott 3 was better than Scott 4. But it would appear not!

Hey hey hey! Don't get me wrong, I actually think Scott 3 and Scott 4 are the best ones but people coming from the first two might have found it too melancholic. There was also a lot happening musically at the end of the 60's so maybe people just lost interest in his style. A couple of more 'groovy' songs like '30 century man' might have been easier to sell.

I always preferred the French version of 'If you go Away'. The acoustic jangle of 30th Century Man always stuck out. Sounds more like a Dylan song that somehow snuck in there. A lot of the rest drifts by unremarkably for me.
But I do like 'Sons of' and I also love 'It's Raining Today' though. The quintessential 'Scott' ballad.

It dawns on me around this time each year that we'll never hear a new Scott Walker album again. And no doubt we won't get any sort of outtakes or lost recordings gubbins either cos he wasn't that kind of artist. And this is a deep deep shame
