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.

I keep hearing tracks on the radio that are awesome that turn out to be tracks from this album.

three years pass...

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
