Scott 4

Scott 4 is an intersting album. The production of the music and arrangements are of top quality however the vocals and lyrics aren't. I tried to appreciate however to me it seems like a rough draft that the artist never went back to refine. It's almost parody-like.

This fucking guy, again!?

I'm a little bothered by how much I identified with some the rather depressing lyrics.

Love this guy’s voice. Oddly soothing songs, soothing yet thunderous.

Too weird for me

In my Scott 2 review I said I’d be open to listening to 1,3,4,5 kinda as a joke but now that I actually did get another one of his albums I want Scott 2 get the fuck off the rest of this list 4 I am tired of it now. This one wasn’t really fun at all despite it having duchess and old man’s back again because it had no quirkiness or uniqueness. Just some music ig.

I like Scott Walker's voice. I don't really like this music. It's just sort of...lame. There’s a song of his here and there that I like, but none from this album. The singer/songwriter genre is not one I've ever really liked much. And this is especially cheesy. Nothing else to say, I won't be listening to this again. 2/5

专辑中的歌都有很优美的旋律，给人感觉是平淡但又蕴含着海浪般的规律起伏。弦乐与人声的搭配给我带来一种颂诗般的美感，在此之前我还没有听过此类风格的作品。由于在网易云上这张专辑的歌曲多数没有翻译，除了the seventh seal和the old man back again两首曲子外其他曲子我并不能了解作者表达的内容主题。总之这张专辑对我是一次新的听歌体验。

No. Horrible.

an interesting one for sure. scott walker's voice is underratedly great in general, and that definitely applies here. it's a 60s pop album but has a little bit of sophistication to it. pleasant production with a bit of grandiose 60s baroque-ish inspiration. definitely has its dull spots but i don't think there's a truly bad song in the bunch. for me, this was good, not great.

I like this album quite a bit. Even though I've never heard any of Walker's works. There's not much difference between the songs. This week has been mostly mediocre with one great album. (In Rainbows) I'm afraid there's no highlights on today's album. 3 stars for "Scott 4".

It's not good.

Another boring Scott record. Scott 4 is indiscernible from Scott 2 to me. Meh.

What did I just listen to??! Is this the trick the professor sticks in just to make sure you’re paying attention and read until the end? Wikipedia’s entry- that it’s an album that was released in 1969 and failed to chart, pretty much sums it up. Zero tracks of interest detected

🎧Cool album, I will probably spend more time with this one

Rating: 4/10 Nah.

So bad!!! Beyond horrible!

Close, but no cigar. Scott 4 feels less quirked up than the other album I've heard by Walker up to this point, Scott 2, but I think that strive to have an album that is more subdued melodically, but stronger in tone has its strengths and weaknesses. When this album is Scott with an orchestral backing and very little else, the beauty of what is presented is so strong that I'm genuinely at a loss for words when it comes to describing it, as it is truly legendary. However, when the songs start to aim for a more straightforward art rock sound, it can be more hit or miss. The Old Man's Back Again is something special, but other tracks that go for this tone, such as the final couple tracks, fall flat, and leave the album without a satisfying closer. The lyrics are top-notch throughout the whole record, but when presented under a pop-ier light it can feel more cheesy than dramatic. It's so close to something great, but I think the oddball songs that line the wax on Scott 2 allow that to be a more memorable, better experience, while this album has higher highs, but more middling lows, and it leads me to think this is a great album, but a great album with some filler. Still, it's short enough that it certainly doesn't hurt to get through to experience some fantastic singer-songwriter material, and if that first track doesn't pull you in to this man's style, it's unlikely anything will.

William Shatner does this better. How did this guy get one album on this list, let alone two? Does this mean I can expect two more from him?!? Hokey smokes, I don’t know if I have that in me.

Scott walker was always interesting. This is not as bizarrely weird as some of his work (really go and listen to Jesse. It’s about Elvis in his mother’s womb dealing with his dead twin). But it’s still interesting. Must listen? Hmmmm.

New to me. As iconic and distinctive as V vintage wood panelling, lava lamps, burnt orange and brown patterned couches with piping. A very specific style. I read some reviews and decided to give it a go. Unsure if I can listen to it without almost giggling and listening to it ironically/satirically. ....orchestral with rich vocals, but also very serious and evenly gravely ernest this 'baroque pop' addresses the serious themes of the unsettled 60s where war and death hung over the youth. It's well made. I find it depressing and soothing and yet - it tickles my funny bone. But ultimately... It's a bit heavy and croony.

I have this CD but had not played it for years. However in the last few daze, I couldn’t stop playing it. Hugely influenced by Brel, Walker in turn influenced many singers, not least Bowie. I didn’t really know Brel until I picked up Bowie’s hit single, Sorrow(1974) & discovered Bowie’s version of Brel’s classic Amsterdam on the flipside. Bowie’s version was surely influenced by Walker’s version, off Scott 3(1967). Scott 4 was the first album Walker did with only his own compositions, and it’s a riveting listen. The opener, The Seventh Seal, might take its name & the substance of the lyrics from the Ingmar Bergman film, but, musically, it’s pure spaghetti western. Down to the male chorus behind Walker. The lyrics are always interesting. Hero Of The War precedes all those Hollywood movies about Vietnam vets in wheelchairs by a good stretch. The Old Man’s Back Again (Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime) is a wonderful lyric - probably the highlight for me. If he’d put it out as a Scott Walker album at the time, instead of a Scott Engel album, I’ve no doubt it would have sold as well as the solo albums that preceded it. But, let’s face it, his career was a mess. However that’s another story. I love the Camus quote he included in the sleevenotes : "a man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened". Absolutely.

Nick Cave sure loved this record, but I don't.

I went into this one blind and was pleasantly surprised. Gorgeous music with a darkness hiding just under the surface. I can hear many artists that were influenced by this.

-I’ve listened to a few songs from his album The Drift and was expecting this to be more like that. It’s still pretty cool though, I love his voice -Favorites are The Seventh Seal and The Old Man’s Back Again

This was awesome actually. Never heard of him but thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thoughtful and beautiful arrangements, sorrowful lyrics. This is an album full of ballads and wonderful production. Not everyone's cup of tea, but impactful and serene while having consistent sad undertones, what a beautiful voice.

Something so campy about this that I find endearing. Also weird that this guy has at least 2 records on the list.

Didn't like it.

Goofy lounge singer stuff.

I will never listen to it again, but thankfully it was better than Scott 2.

01) The Seventh Seal - 8,0 02) On Your Own Again - 7,5 03) The World's Strongest Man - 7,0 04) Angels of Ashes - 7,0 05) Boy Child - 6,5 06) Hero of the War - 7,0 07) The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime) - 7,5 08) Duchess - 6,5 09) Get Behind Me - 7,0 10) Rhymes of Goodbye - 6,5 TOTAL: 7,05 (71/100) Current ranking: 151/233 Well, the sun ain't gonna shine on this album anymore, at least for me.

Not the best, not the worst. 2.5 stars.

Clearly well-constructed baroque pop that I just don’t care that much about. 3/5

It’s been 34 years since high school Spanish, but I was reminded of this phrase “no es bueno.”

This sucked.

I really enjoy Scott Walker and have found a lot of artists on this list have been influenced by him but can't quite be him. I will say that I enjoyed the other Scott Walker album over this one. 4.5/5

How many quaaludes would it take to enjoy this crap?

Interesting, but not mind blowing.

Incredible I had never even heard of this artist before. On paper this seems like an album I would not like but it had all the right things at the right moments and was incredibly sung as well

decent production but I didn’t get much from this. Not something I would listen to again

The instruments at the opening of every track had me excited that it would be good. Then Scott starts singing and ruins the mood.

I don't see the appeal of this kind of music. The guy has a good voice, but I don't get anything out of it.

This is supposed to be his best album and I just... cant.

Favorite Track: The Seventh Seal

Scott Walker is an incredible songwriter and composer. I've loved his albums Scott 3 and Bish Bosh, but this was my first time listening to Scott 4. I was definitely impressed. The layered instrumentals across the album were certainly embellished a bit from Scott 3, and the musical styling was more homogeneous than the chaotic mix on Scott 3. That being said, the small downsides of this were that the album was too clean, and the closer "Rhymes of Goodbye" didn't pack too much of a punch. All around great album though. 4/5.

Pop viejuno. Ni fu ni fa.

Grata sorpresa ... voz preciosa. Art popavant-garde.

I have very mixed feelings about Scott Walker. I always wanted to like him more and a few songs stand out, but the last of his albums I got wasn't particularly memorable to me. 'Scott 4' is apparently a favorite of Radiohead's and was very influential on Bowie's 'Low' so I know that I need to take this seriously. And indeed this is exactly what I'd be hoping for from Walker. It's more original, more free, and more sparse. The previous albums bogged down by baroque-pop orchestrations. But what he really needed was room to breathe. 'The Old Man's Back Again' is now my favorite of his songs.

Opener is a banger shall see what the rest becomes. Loving this, World strongest man fav so far. Still loving it half way through Boy Child was a beautiful melody into a fun upbeat but still somber song, Hero of the War. Old man’s back again really mad you feel like a Stalinist. What a beautiful 30 minutes, Scott Walker has a beautiful voice and amazing musical choices. Great first album to him might listen to the other three Scott’s.

Not really my thing.

Great voice, but I'm not a fan of this.

I do like this album, particularly the Old Man. A perfect 30 minutes of englishness. Thank god Scott existed.

Tämä ei ole ihan niin paskaa kuin aikaisempi scott, vaikka onkin vieläkin hiukan musikaalimaista. Jopa ihan miellyttävää. Parhaat: The Seventh Seal, Angels Of Ashes, The Old Man's Back Again.

This is the type of album this list is about! I have truly never ever heard of this artist before, but I ended up really liking this! Weird. But listenable. Not overlong, he has an interesting way of composing songs. A very singular voice. Operatic, dramatic, etc. I really enjoyed this! I listened to it twice!

this guy has a crazy voice

Not a fan of crooner albums like this. No real beats or choruses. For languid tunes, I’ll stick with more modern stuff.

The cheese is piled on so high and deep you could cut with a knife.

Scott Walker was a really boring governor of Wisconsin. Except for his political stances and union busting while in office. Those weren’t boring, but they sucked. Scott Walker was also a singer, but he was actually Noel Scott Engel. But he was also boring. “Scott 4” only gets interesting with “Hero of the War” and “The Old Man’s Back Again.”

Better than Scott 2. That is the only positive thing I can say.

It’s 12:30 am. I split my aces. Double down on both hands. Bust a 5 carder on one hand. Draw to a 20 on the other. Dealer draws 3 cards to a 21. Busted. I stumble away from the table to the buffet. On the way I hear Scott Walker singing Scott 4 to a room with 9 out of 10 seats empty. Against my better judgment, I decide to sit down. He gets to Boy Child. I puke and pass out. I wake upon impact after security has tossed me to the curb.

I wanted to like this more than I did. I like the cheesiness of it and the lounge singer style — he’s got a great voice — but I didn’t connect with many of the songs. There weren’t enough upbeat song to draw me in. I liked the swinging drama of “The Old Man’s Back Again” but there weren’t many more like it on this album.

Interesting voice and instrumentation. I was unsure if I would like this until I heard those strings come into the first track. Very mysterious and intriguing sound that is supported by equally interesting lyrics. I like a lot of modern music that sounds like this and I think that some of my favorite acts were probably inspired by Scott Walker, like Father John Misty comes to mind. I enjoyed it, didn't dislike it, but didn't love it.

a bit of a stunner from the big man.

What a delight!

I liked it but I probably won't ever listen to it again

With its warm production, tasteful orchestrations and of course beautiful voice, this album grabbed me from start to finish. 'The Seventh Seal' and especially 'The Old Man's Back Again' are incredible

Good singer but the voice really sounds dated. Perhaps it can be appreciated by those who enjoy the lyrical content but the music isn't for me 2/5

This was another artist I've encountered on this project that I had never heard of, and what all Scott Walker brought to the table caught me by surprise, even though the album clocked in at just over 30 minutes in total. He is not the typical late 60's singer-songwriter by any means. Though there are some of those elements in songs like "Angels of Ashes" and "Rhymes Of Goodbye", there's definite country and gospel influences showing as well. You are also able to hear a more robust sound that is more suited for a rock-opera with a backing orchestra on songs like "The Seventh Seal" which opened the album and "Get Behind Me" later on the tracklist. This album packs alot in such a small package, and Walker should be commended in his versatility. The fact that I hadn't even heard of him with this terrific work shows the wealth of talent in his era. 7/10

didn’t chart for a reason

No covers, no filler.

This was a weird one! Genuinely don't fully know what to make of it. I'm thinking I will need at least one relisten to really hone in on how I feel about it. I don't think I hated it though. From first listen I liked Seventh Seal and The Old Man is Back Again. If I had to try to define it, I like his vocals, I like the lyrics, but the instrumentals were either a big hit or miss for me. Might be one of those ones that grows on me.

lesgoooo

That opening track was a beast! The rest of the songs are decent, but a bit warbly. Like he's singing through a fan. 3 trumpets out of 5

Enough with the Scott albums.

Name "Scott" was already taken, but he found a brilliant solution. >The album failed to chart and was deleted soon after. It has been speculated that Walker's decision to release the album under his birth name of Scott Engel contributed to its chart failure. It says a lot when a must-hear album fails to chart without a popular name to back it up. I hate this album so much, and I haven't even started listening to it yet Well, it's the same shit as last time, but without the more energetic part, here all the songs are boring. And if you're curious about his album with Sunn O))), I listened to it too. It's, well... their drone metal plus his operatic singing, lol. And it sounds surprisingly okay. Comical at times, but okay. This makes me think that I don't care about how or what he is singing, I only care about the instruments. Which sucked on Scott 4

it wasnt ~~that~~ bad I didnt mind it being on but I didnt like a single moment of it

Solid work from Scott, opening track is awesome. 3.5 stars.

The stuff that made your nan swoon. Pretty basic but had an interesting scat part towards end of album

This is the 4th album with the name Scott by Scott Walker. Definitely cut from the same cloth as Neil Diamond (or at least a similar pattern). It's an ok album I guess, nothing too exciting start to finish.

Started really strong but somewhat lost interest midway through. 3.5 though. solid album

I like the orchestral and choral bits. Its produced VERY well. Its ok. This sounds like music in the transitions of Tarantino films. i would go 2.5 but its not an option. 2 would imply its not good so we are going with 3

Nice, peaceful music. Enjoyed having this in the background. Nothing amazing, but it was okay.

Tried a few times with Scott but it doesn’t do it for me. Some interesting songs and some boring ones.

I’m a sucker for this kind of music. Kind of like Leonard Cohen but perhaps rooted in fiction (and dare I say, optimism?) rather than the dark and gritty works of Cohen.

Rating does not reflect the skill of the artist but totally did not get into this

This guy has a great voice and the skill to use it - but the writing is crap, the music not much better. Sounds like music for housewives waiting for the valium to kick in. Seriously, Seventh Seal - a chess match with death - was a brilliant film but.....

I’m pretty bored.

This is the weirdest music I have heard in a very long time. And I listen to A LOT of weird music.

Iconic, influential, genre defying, robust, warm, delicate, and any other adjectives you'd use to describe a masterpiece. Insanely good album with complex melodies and amazing songwriting. Think at how this album was made in 1969 with no digital technology. All live, 8 and 16 tracks. Unreal.

I think this album is fascinating. My favorite of Walker’s albums, I could probably give it 5 stars with more listens. It’s bizarre, but not as bizarre as much of his other work and much more accessible in a good way. His voice sounds great and the lyrics are interesting. The production and arrangements are so unique, it’s like there was no intention whatsoever for this to be popular. He’s like Sinatra on acid.

Operatic-feeling voice, soft pop music

Great baroque album! Love this type of singer songwriter music. Such a vibe and very powerful. 4/5

This album would be a fantastic example of baroque pop, if only it was as good as it's trying to be. Every song in this album has good bones, but Walker's voice and singing abilities are plainly lacking.

Stunning great album.

Didn't care for Scott 2, also didn't care for Scott 4. Maybe Scott 3 is the sweet spot?

Not what I expected from an artist I’d never heard before and was judging solely on the album cover. I was expecting either something exciting and jazzy, or maybe weird and eclectic, I felt like I got banality.

I really enjoyed the unique sound and feel of this album. It hooked me right from the beginning The Seventh Seal. I liked all of the songs, but none really got there hooks into me. I can't see myself singing these under my breath in a few days. That said, I will definitely be listening to this record again.

Anything that sounds like this I’m gonna kind of enjoy because it all sounds like music that can be sampled. But other than that I didn’t enjoy this that much. I thought the vibes were kinda cool and the album cover was dope but the music never took me somewhere emotionally and the vocals never had anything that made me remember them.

Scott Walker seems like such an anomaly. He just seems to surprise me at every turn. Every decision he makes is like a left turn, where I would have gone right. It's amazing that such an iconoclastic person got the resources to make an album like this, full orchestra, choir, it's wild! Every line, confident yet strange. Much prefer this to some of the more hokey, medieval-themed adventures of people like Tim Buckley, whom we've had to listen to. This is just way more pleasant and fun. It's good all of the time, and sometimes *really* really good. 4/5

I have no idea why this guy is on the list. He might have influenced a lot of people, but the most notable thing he did for me was influence me to never listen to this again. 2/5

"Scott 4" is a pivotal album in the career of Scott Walker, released in 1969. It diverged significantly from his earlier pop career as part of The Walker Brothers, showcasing his transition towards a more experimental and introspective style. Here's an in-depth review focusing on lyrics, music, production, themes, and influence, along with its pros and cons. **Lyrics:** The lyrics of "Scott 4" are characterized by their poetic complexity and depth. Walker's songwriting delves into existential themes, societal critique, and introspection. Tracks like "The Seventh Seal" draw inspiration from the Ingmar Bergman film of the same name, exploring mortality and the human condition. "The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime)" offers a scathing commentary on political oppression, while "Hero of the War" reflects on the disillusionment of war. Walker's lyrical prowess shines through in his ability to evoke vivid imagery and provoke thought. **Music:** Musically, "Scott 4" is a departure from Walker's earlier work, incorporating elements of folk, jazz, and orchestral arrangements. The album features intricate instrumentation, including lush string sections and haunting melodies. Tracks like "Angels of Ashes" and "Boy Child" showcase Walker's dynamic vocal range and emotive delivery. The music serves as a fitting backdrop to the introspective nature of the lyrics, creating a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the album ends. **Production:** The production of "Scott 4" is polished and meticulous, with Walker overseeing every aspect of the recording process. The album benefits from the collaboration with renowned arranger Wally Stott, whose orchestral arrangements add depth and texture to the music. The production values enhance the overall impact of the songs, allowing Walker's vision to fully manifest. **Themes:** Thematically, "Scott 4" explores a wide range of topics, including existentialism, politics, and the human experience. Walker's lyrics delve into the complexities of life and death, love and loss, and the search for meaning in a world fraught with uncertainty. The album's themes are deeply philosophical, inviting listeners to contemplate their own existence and place in the universe. Despite the heavy subject matter, there is an underlying sense of hope and resilience that runs throughout the record. **Influence:** "Scott 4" has had a profound influence on subsequent generations of musicians and artists. Its innovative blend of folk, jazz, and orchestral elements paved the way for the emergence of baroque pop and art rock in the 1970s. The album's introspective lyrics and experimental approach to songwriting inspired countless artists to push the boundaries of their craft. Its influence can be heard in the work of artists as diverse as David Bowie, Nick Cave, and Radiohead, cementing its status as a timeless classic. **Pros:** 1. Poetic lyrics that explore existential themes with depth and nuance. 2. Inventive musical arrangements that blend folk, jazz, and orchestral elements seamlessly. 3. Meticulous production values that enhance the overall impact of the songs. 4. Thought-provoking themes that invite listeners to engage with complex ideas. 5. Lasting influence on subsequent generations of musicians and artists. **Cons:** 1. The album's experimental nature may alienate listeners seeking more conventional pop music. 2. Some tracks may come across as overly somber or bleak, depending on the listener's mood. 3. Walker's vocal delivery, while powerful, may be an acquired taste for some listeners. Overall, "Scott 4" stands as a testament to Scott Walker's artistic vision and creative genius. Its poetic lyrics, inventive music, and thought-provoking themes continue to captivate listeners decades after its release, solidifying its status as a masterpiece of 20th-century music.

This is the guy who does a bitchin’ rendition of Jackie. Shame it’s not on this album. But dude has a nice, rich dramatic voice and singing style. Good for story-telling songs. Fun to sing along with. The melodramatic lounge singing is absolutely feeding my starving soul. It’s like a sonic novela. So silly and serious at the same time. Hard not to love this. It’s infectious and ridiculous and really kinda fabulous. I can’t complain about something that makes me laugh this much.

this is absolutely beautiful oh my godddddddd "The Seventh Seal" is the perfect intro to an album i've ever heard in my entire life so so so good this is gonna be my summer album.

An okay album. Some pretty lyrical imagery, but I didn't find it overly memorable. 3/5.

Edit: I love this brilliant weirdo. I was on the fence with this album for so long, but I've come to embrace my love of Scott Walker. This deserves a 5. Usually after one listen through of an album I have a pretty good sense on whether I like it or not. But not this one. I had to listen to it a few times to actually figure out my feelings. On first listen? Hated on. Next listen? Kind of brilliant. And so on. I’m still not entirely certain on my feeling, but more often than not, I found myself enjoying most of it. But boy does Scott Walker like to write about women crying. I swear like 2/3 of the songs on here have lyrics about it. “Hero Of The War” is probably my favorite song on this album. It’s lowkey brilliant? Somehow? Clearly I still don’t know how to feel, but, uh, 4 stars. Sure.

Easy listening, interesting voice and lyrics.

Just emerging from a deep-dive into Pantera's discography, this is an extreme change of pace. Angles of Ashes is pretty with the sweeping strings and grand vocals; however, I find myself pretty bored. I think that's actually probably a decent enough summation of this record. The instrumentals are objectively pretty, but there is something about the vocals that runs against my taste. Feels preachy / pretentious in a way that only folk music can. The Old Man's Back Again is pretty cool. Very different in style to the rest of the album so far. Love the bouncy bass-line and drum shuffle -- very groovy. I also really enjoyed Rhymes of Goodbye as a folk-country closer. Album was down and up for me. I largely enjoyed the instrumentals and found a couple of the songs to be worthy of focus. Otherwise, I wasn't huge on the aesthetics at play. Nice clean production though, so credit where its due. This sits middle of the pack for me. 3/5

1st song feels like it would be in a Quintin Tarantino movie. Wasn't a bad listen. Definitely has that 60s/70s sound. 3 stars for me

Great voice, Scott! Has a bit of a bossa nova feel to the album with a grooving bassline. This one is definitely better than Scott 2.

Definitely liked this one more than Scott 2 which we got almost 400 albums ago. It was still a bit too poppy for my liking, but his voice is very good and this time there were some really nice guitar parts. I would be ok if Scott and Scott 3 are not included on this list.

Just went back and I did not like Scott 2. I just cannot take him super cereal with his voice but it's not bad. The Old Mans Back Again has some fantastic bass going on. There's actually some good bass on a lot of these songs definitely sticking out the most to me. And some really good orchestral parts as well. Feel like I liked this one a bit more than Scott 2 even though I still hate his stupid voice. Not going back to Scott 2 to find out either. Run of the mill 3.

Ok

Scott Walker reminds me of someone, but I can't place who. This is a good album: nothing really catchy, but I like his style.

Chill, nice voice

I'm a simple man. You write a song about the movie The Seventh Seal, you get 5 stars.

Scott Walker is the strongest man in the world.

A dark singer-songwriter epic for the damaged souls.

Interesting. At its best ("The Seventh Seal", "Get Behind Me"), this is Baroque pop that soars but I also think it sails pretty close to easy-listening territory at times. Nevertheless, grown-up themes (the Prague Spring!) abound.

He was described by the BBC upon his death as "one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in rock history" Never heard of him. Nice voice, subdued orchestration.I prefer Mel Torme. 3*

Jim Morrison Doors sound-alike, but more under water

Very mellow and, at the same time, full of pathos - does that make it pathetic? I'm not sure, but I know that this particular sound could only come out of the 70s. 3/5

Serious question: Did Scott Walker compile this album list? I suspect he’s a trust fund baby who paid a bunch of experienced studio musicians to write some songs. Then he came in and improvised the lyrics. Those lyrics are ridiculous! But my favorite part is when he scats. 1.9, but 1.8 of that goes to the studio musicians.

I wasn't familiar with Scott Walker. His voice reminds me of someone, but I can't place it. Maybe it was unique for the time, but it gets a little tedious now. There's a place for it, but probably not in my rotation. 3.4

3.5/5

Pretty cool!

Superclassic Scott Walker album (nothing to add).

The songs are in order; I'm less attracted by the performance, which is somewhat 'swollen'.

Ugh, the first song was fine, but this guy is a bit of a creep, and his music makes me uncomfortable. Yeah, the album starts fine, but then it immediately gets bad and cringy and nearly unlistenable. I would have a better life if you promised me that I would never listen to Scott Walker ever again in my life.

Ballad king with interesting lyrics.

Nice production on the tracks but I waited an entire album for something other than a depressing ballad and was disappointed. Low 3.

I've always preferred *Scott 3* to any of the other albums in that famous tetralogy of Scott Walker album. Including "critics' fave" *Scott 4*. *3* has more obvious experimental arrangements, such as that dissonant string section on opener "It's Raining Today"--which clearly inspired Jonny Greenwood for his own "glissandi" string arrangement on Radiohead's "How To Disappear Completely"... And it has more memorable original songs ("Copehhagen", "30 Century Man"), cinematic instrumentation ("Butterfly", "Winter Night") and stellar covers (Jacques Brel's "If You Go Away"). Guess Scott Walker's borderline-stilted and hackneyed gravitas is pretty much the same on 3 and 4, yet 3 is the only record I can see appearing in such a list. Even its drugged-out artwork is better than the one on *4*. You know what they say... "Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder". Not to say that *4* can't be excellent at times. "The Old Man's Back Again" and *Boy Child* are up there with the best tunes from *3*. Yet the first four tracks from this subsequent record still sound kind of boring to me. And if things get better after them, I feel like I prefer to listen to The Divine Comedy's "copy" of those sorts of songs rather than the original. It's an odd feeling, I gotta admit it. But I would lie if I stated the contrary. 3/5 for the purposes of this list. Translating to a 8/10 grade for more general purposes (5+3). Number of albums left to review: 235 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 330 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 195 Albums from the list I won't include in mine: 247 (including this one)

Ah, the much revered Scott Walker. First time listen, no wait, I know "Old Man..". I'd like to queue this to return to it on a different day in another mood. Because the circa Morricone × Crooner is pretty cool, I can already say, but it seems this is an album I should pay attention to and I don't quite have the patience today. Uhm, and this alone makes it a 4.

This surprised me, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Simplistic I feel but kept me interested. I ain't got too much more to say tbh. Fav songs: -The Seventh Seal - The Old Man's Back Again - Duchess

unsettling

Cracking album….

Not particularly enjoyable. The definition of vanilla.

Pretty good Baroque pop. For me, better than Scott 2.

Calm album, very peaceful Top tracks: Duchess, Get Behind Me

fine but too slow and not my thing

I never heard of him. Nice, easy listening.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this as I head he can get a bit weird. Anyway they say this is his best and after my second listen it really started to grow on me. A sad crooner with a bent for the mythical. Faves: The Seventh Seal, The Old Man's Back Again

Scott's still pretty poppy on this one, but there are definite hints of the weirdness to come. I reckon "Tilt" or "The Drift" shoulda been on this list rather than "Scott 2". Fave tracks - "The Old Man's Back Again" is freaking epic, and justifiably gets used in soundtracks to great effect. "The Seventh Seal" is also irresistible - a Morricone / Bergman mashup, c'mon!

3.5 - While I think I might prefer Scott 2 to this one, that could definitely change if some of these tracks grow on me. They're both pretty good, but in slightly different ways.

The Seventh Seal - 3.5 On Your Own Again - 3 The World's Strongest Man - 3 Angels of Ashes - 2.5 Boy Child - 3 Hero Of The War - 3.5 The Old Mans Back Again - 3.5 Duchess - 3.5 Get Behind Me - 3.5 Rhymes Of Goodbye - 3.5 Average - 3.25

I can see that it's really good, clever, artful, intriguing. But it's also just a bit too croony and orchestrated for me to truly love...

A voz dele só foi crescendo e ficando melhor! Terminei amando a voz e a interpretação. Entendi nada das letras! Várias melodias ótimas. As últimas três músicas do álbum foram mais difíceis. 86/100

syngur auðvitað eins og engill. einna síst af fimmunni. 3,5 samt.

very cool

6/10 I like the song writing, the arrangements are good too. it feels like a lonely 60's crooner writing for the most depressing musical ever made. 4/1/2024

Honestly, it got better as I listened on. I enjoyed the last couple songs but towards the beginning I was falling asleep but not in a good way. It was rather boring but I do have to say it definitely picked up. It evens out, so not disappointed.

This album cover looks like poor Scott just had a Depends accident on the city bus. "All kinds of ridiculous" was a phrase I used in thinking about our previous Walker album "Scott 2" and doesn't apply quite as much here, even if it starts off like a 50s western. ...idk, I kind of liked Scott 2 but overall this one just seems extra maudlin and dull, and even though I know the maudlin is kind of the point - and it's actually refreshing coming off a crappy Pixies (redundant) offshoot - I'm not gonna be listening to it again. I'd probably give it a 3 or 4 for effort and actual talent but personally a 2. 5/10 2 stars.

Not bad, but not really memorable.

A bit boring.

Boring. Was about 30 minutes too long

Mostly boring

Sad, liked that he opens with a summary of the Seventh Seal

I'll need to listen again later since this is something I would typically love, just didn't hit today

To me, this was like background music for an older generation. It wasn't unpleasant, just not my thing. Having said that, I may try to listen to it again.

What a weird and delightful album

Very symphonic, not great?

I have heard good things about Scott Walker and was expecting to be blown away. I wasn't but it is intriguing and I think I will revisit.

A pleasant voice singing songs. Aside from that, I’m not sure what it is about this album I had to hear before I die. Although I do appreciate the plot summary of The Seventh Seal. Watched that movie in college and wasn’t really able to understand it very well. So, thanks for that, Scott.

I don't know, this is tough the day after Ozomamtli. Nothing terribly special or memorable.

Fiercely mediocre at first, mildly annoying by the time you're done with it. He's a decent enough singer, but his lyrics are kinda bad and odd. "The dragon of disgust"? Plus, his scataly-boppity-do nonsense at the end of a bunch of songs just sucks.

I have heard too many parodies of this type of music that it's impossible to listen to with any hope of enjoyment. A lounger crooners smooth voice trapped inside the heart of lute player, occasionally playing country. I didn't enjoy it.

lovely

Cool album, super original sounding, almost like if someone decided to sing over a video game OST

It was fine.

Once again the wiki leaves me doubtful. Big ol' YAWN, a lot of moping for 1/2 hour.

Not my jam

Great voice, but didn’t care for the songs.

That first track had me hooked, then it was a wild ride on whether he was an early Orville peck or another morrissey guy. But it was ok

Scott 1-3 shit. Scott 4 slightly less shit? You know an album is pretty unknown when the Wikipedia excerpt is 4 lines. This album was just slow ballads of irrelevance. The guy is a decent singer but for 1969 this is pretty low on the talent list. 4.2/10

un peu chiant, dandy Il a l'air sympa

Scott 4 is an amazing album by Scott Walker. I loved every single song and it is so sad that it is so short! 10/10

No

Never quite got this, but I do now.

Quite surprising, a fun album with some good tracks Not my usual choice but I would listen again

- Oh wow. I am actively annoyed by almost all of this immediately. - "The Seventh Seal" sounds epic, but the meandering lyrics and Walker's refusal to rhyme makes it all seem lazy. - I find "The World's Strongest Man" and "Hero Of The War" plesant? And "Boy Child" has some interesting backing? - I am legitimately confused how this even included on this list. Because this is a super rough listen.

⭐️ couldn’t do it - crooner esq- nothing I have heard before and probably never will again

I can see why Bowie liked Scott Walker - it's his baritone voice and his delivery. "Hero of the War" and "The Old Man's Back Again" are the best tracks on this album, but the others drag it down.

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: The old man’s back again, Get behind me

What a load of pretentious bullshit. Duchess was OK, otherwise this would be a 1.

not great

Meh. Overall didnt really enjoy this album or music. It wasnt horrible, but I have no interest in Scott Walker going forward.

3-4

I suspect if I heard this album in the late 60’s, I might have enjoyed it more. I didn’t really enjoy it. Don’t know exactly why it made it to the list.

Boring

Nicht meine Richtung

Interesting. Was not expecting this.

4eme album éponyme !! 🍈 ?? Un peu mieux que le n°2, mais pas beaucoup plus emballé.

Gorgeous. His baritone voice is so powerful, and the stripped back instrumentation here really lets it shine. The guitar and strings are also top notch, perfectly emphasizing the vocals.

This whole goddamn album sounds like why Mike Myers made the character of Austin Powers. Baroque pop, aggressive, Andy Williams, Tom Jones motherlover. Which isn’t to say I didn’t like it. I really did. What a fascinating dude and a fascinating album.

Ok album but nothing special

Stirring strings and Scott's full, round singing voice carry this. Nostalgic but not overly dated sounding. Standouts include Angels of Ashes and The Old Man's Back Again, but this was consistently good.

Moody broody dark Orchestral swelling big notes Smoky masculine

The music was ok. The lyrics were ridiculous.

this is probably harsh but. almost got an added star for being so weird could i write poetry to this? n

The absolute polar opposite of Van Halen. This makes me think of Neil Diamond, and I don't like anything about that. One and one-half stars. The phantom half-star is because I like his song, "30 Century Man", which is unfortunately not on this album.

His voice is great. I like the orchestration. Overall I wanted to like this. Listened to it twice and nothing stuck. His group The Walker Brothers had some cool stuff though.

This dude has a great voice and the music accompanies it will

Not sure

Gear: Meze 109 PRO Mix: Feine Sahne Fischfilet Musik: nein. einfach nein. Wertung: 🤷‍♂️(🤷‍♂️)/5 (inkl. +1 für Produktion)

This guy again. Don’t hate it but don’t really like it too much.

It was okay. It definitely got better in the second half and it has some good moments, but Walker’s voice doesn’t do much for me. Some of the songs in the first half sounded like parodies of singers like Humperdinck.

The Seventh Seal is a promising start. But the devolution into wannabe crooner music is so stark from there. Really, really boring album that is high off its own farts. You can't follow a checklist to make a masterpiece--a masterpiece just happens when you work through it

I don't like chanson.

I didn't like his singing, he sounded like a lounge act. The music wasn't very good either. Maybe 1 song was actually listenable

mostly forgettable. Most interesting when he lets the backing singers and band get funky/bluesy. Best song: The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated To the Neo-Stalinist Regime)

much better than I thought overall. Would like to listen some more.

Me gusta. Bueno. Tampoco uh!!! Llevadero. Corto. Bien! Lo conocí hoy. Bien!!, 👏👏👏👏👏

Got that Tom Jones kinda sound, real show-boaty. Great voice, very theatrical, like the soundtrack to a musical or something.

Listened Before? N Surprising! This sounds like Bowie with a more real-world theme. I have never heard of him but apparently he was a big Bowie influencer. I did really enjoy this one, but I disagree with the most popular song here. "The Old Man's Back Again" is interesting, but I think it probably lost a lot of its meaning over time. My favorite here was track 1 - The Seventh Seal. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: The Seventh Seal

Lovely baritone voice, lovely album.

Fint album. Fina melodier. Fina lyrics. Fina låtar. Stark 3

There were a couple of interesting songs, the Seventh Seal and Get Behind Me, but overall it was a pretty boring affair.

Opening up the album it sounds like the start of some Mariachi, before moving into almost a lounge act. A couple more songs in, and it still sounds like a lounge act. Like I'm at a bar in Vegas at 3 in the afternoon and this guy is singing on stage as all the drunks go crazy on 99 cent shrimp cocktail, and his job is to lull them all to sleep so they stop choosing the casino money. It's fine musically, but I want to feel the music in my bones; this is nap time music. The Old Man's Back Again has a nice groove, good bass line. He seems to run out words in a few of his songs, this one included, so he just starts scatting as the music fades out. Takes away from the song and I don't care for it. I don't mind a fade out from time to time, but this screams of "I don't know how to end a song". 4 out of the 10 songs end with some variation of "Bweee ba da dum dweedlee bee bumda Doo" as the music fades out. One time and I'd have been like, "That's an odd way to end a song". But 4 times? What the heck, man.

Well that was certainly different. Not horrible, but not my cup of tea either.

Interesting voice, but very boring. No songs have grabbed my attention at all, it's like good background music. Not terrible music, but not for me. A solid 3.

Traumhafte Stimme, man kann sich in die Musik buchstäblich reinlegen.

Very soft album. The singing is slow and comforting. None of the tracks were skips and they flow very smoothly. Sort of reminds me of the cars by the arctic monkeys. Almost like lounge music. 3.25

Was just ok start to finish.

This was ok

low energy. homme avec sa guitare. arrangement ornemental. egalement. rien de wow 6/10

not bad, but nothing exceptional. I'd listen to it again

interesting voice

Didn’t really enjoy Scott 2. Enjoyed this a bit more. I can definitely appreciate the musical genius behind it all but it just doesn’t really sit with me that well. All a bit too dramatic for me. Feels like a soundtrack to a 60s musical tv drama at times. 3.0

Weird. Like it Prince Charming from Shrek 2 decided to write and record an album

Wikipedia says the release of this failed to chart. I'm not surprised. There were a lot of great albums from that year. This was not one of them. Why is it in this list?

A great example of music I wouldn't look twice at normally but that I quite enjoyed. The opening track really hooked me in. It has an epic but ethereal quality. I don't think I'd put this on often but I think it's really well made, the instruments sound good and he has a swell voice (crooner). Standout Track: The Seventh Seal

I'm glad it was short because it was not for me. I really disliked his voice which was not helped by the song writing. 1.5 rounded down.

I did not expect to enjoy this but it was quite lovely to make soup to

The first track really set me up to dislike this one. Most of the tracks dragged, I didn't hate Hero of the War but it was a slog otherwise.

I thought that it felt longer than it actually was, but I really enjoyed this style of music. It was well-arranged and easy to listen to. His voice felt a little bit like he was doing an impression of someone though— something about it didn’t feel genuine and I can’t put my finger on it lol.

I was pretty mid on this, so I’d put it as 2 star vibes, but with 1 or 2 songs that were enjoyable enough to bring it to a 3

not for me, thanks

Honestly i listened to it and it was over before i even. noticed any songs, i should probably listen to it again

BOOORRRINNNGGGG. 3/10

More like 3

was okay.

I don't have much to offer for this one. Kind of a "nothing" album. Didn't have much to offer or that I found unique in any capacity. Fav tracks: N/A

Didn't want to listen to this. Like a walk in someone else's dark, slightly frightening forest. You probably shouldn't be there alone. Very 'adult contemporary' without being catchy. No contrast, everything is of a piece. Nothing to anchor the listener in a context. Seems to me like he is trying to write popular (1960's UK) music but with some kind of anti-war thread, but I could be completely wrong. I found this hard to understand in an unpleasant and confusing way, the point of view in any given song was not clear. But a lot of the best music is hard to "get" on first listen. Maybe I'll listen again to try to figure it out. Probably not, though.

3.5/5

Enjoyed this one, great voice and lush music. I think with more listens this would move up a star

Really good would listen again

Cool to write moody. Very dry dessert vibe

Un dels cantautors maleïts preferits dels crítics i de totes les llistes. El pòsit orquestral i la seva poderosa veu malenconiosa continuen sent el seu principal què, a més d'unes lletres que qui no tingui l'anglès com a llengua vehicular passaran força desapercebudes

His voice reminds me of a guy who is trying to do an impression of Tom Jones singing. Not great but hey, at least the torture was over in about 30 minutes. 4/10.

Pidän tämän suureellisuudesta, jonka avausraidan western kuuluttaa sisään. Ei ole vaisu, toisaalta yllättävästi ei mieleenpainuva.

Ei pelkästään kamalaa - välillä myös yhdentekevää. Kun scattaus alkoi, ajattelin, että aika siirtyä johonkin muuhun.

I had never heard of Scott Walker before, but I thoroughly enjoyed this album!

Sorry really not a fan

lyhyt scotti tähän paikkaan. kiva tunnelmallinen melankolinen(suomi, suomi finland) folkki jointti.. muutama hyvä biisi muutama huono biisi. loppui juuri sen verran ajoissa että ei alkanut vituttaa kuulla tekoääntä.. tekoääni pakottaa laittaa rekisteriin alempaa hertsiä vaikka oikea ääni varmasti kimeämpi.. hohhoijjaa seventh seal

Painfully dull.

Orchestra pop. Really kind of liked it

Superlative.

Old timey but well written

Not a fan

4.3 - Great album, very old timey and warm

Half of it was great songs, other half was forgettable

I think finally I've seen the light with SW. I've tried before and it washed over. Today the commute was enriched by the guile and power of this album. Strong 4.

That Scott 2 did well commercially and Scott 4 bombed… that’s injustice

This album is so harmonically interesting! The songs were really cool. Hadn’t heard this guy before, to my knowledge.

Album #: 350 (#298 rated) first impressions: this is probably going to be weird. it's like nick cave meets barry manilow so far? after listening through: i mean, is he just andy shauf/jens lekman for boomers? i kind of get it in that sense. post-reading reviews/wiki: no relation to the former (trash) governor of Wisconsin, or his dad or anything, in case you were also wondering. recommended for: those looking for easier listening than some of the other late 60's singer/songwriters without as vapid as some of the pop music from that era.

With no shortage of love for drama, Scott once again delivers what he hopes is the most majestic, cinematic record you've ever heard. And if you can get past the silliness of it, it's a lot of fun. Certainly better than Scott 2 (an earlier album on this list). I guess I feel this way because I knew more of what to expect this time around. Makes it easier to get past the barrier of entry. But the songs are just kind of better too. I went back and listened to a bit of Scott 2, and there's certainly an evolution in songwriting there. I'm not in any hurry to revisit this one, but it's completely bearable with some actual great tracks on it.

The coulda-woulda-shoulda-been-a-Bond-theme-crooner returns with a velvety vengeance!

It's immediately compelling. Overall enjoyable, it has a 60’s grooviness to several tracks, and lush instrumentation throughout. I personally enjoyed it, and it seems like this album and/or Scott Walker was influential to subsequent artists (Radiohead, Nick Cave), so I guess it has a important cultural relevance/context.

What is this? The music sounds like something you'd hear played over the opening credits to a cheesy 60's movie. Yes he can sing and has a pleasant voice but I would never seek this out and wouldn't willfully listen to it for any length of time if I had any choice in the matter. It surprises me that this made the list, it wasn't my thing.

I had no idea that In The Nursery’s version of The Seventh Seal was a cover song. Gives this a +1.

Boring. Maybe one decent song on it.

Pretty boring to be honest. Definitely it picked up a little bit at the end but as a whole I was not very engaged listening to it. I liked The Seventh Seal and Rhymes of Goodbye the most.

This is his best album. 1 to 3 are amazing as well but this one s the best

An interesting experience that reminded me of Al Stewart and the moody blues

3.3/5 - Scott has such an interesting, enigmatic voice, I really do quite like it a lot. Some of the songs here fall a bit flat though. Fave Songs: The Seventh Seal, Hero of the War

vrlo mid

Par dobrih pjesama, par skroz bezveze

Beautiful album! Fantastic production and song quality packed in only 32 minutes. It is a bit strange that Scott 2 and 4 are included here but not the career highlight Scott 3. Do yourself a favor, listen to that one too :) love ya Scott

Deva nice!

As one of those Gen X freaks who got into Scott Walker through his stark work from Tilt onwards, this is both new to me and eerily familiar. I've probably heard some of this on Julian Cope's "Fire Escape in the Sky" compilation, but also through those who followed. I doubt this would've meant much to me back when I first heard Walker. I'm reminded of a comment Julian Barnes made about opera not making sense until the listener has been through some of the harder moments of life, and right now I feel the same about Scott 4: it's epic framing and enormous delivery - but what else could he do with that voice? - could seem absurd, but have become sublime. I'll get this and listen to it more.

Enjoyed this a lot more than expected; prejudiced mainly because this album (and Walker in general) are oft-cited by some of the most pretentious folk I've encountered (not you, Mark!). Starts off quite dodgy, The Seventh Seal reading like a 6th form art piece, with a depth of analysis matched only by my glancing half-heartedly at the Bergman film in the background two decades ago. It gets better, and by The Old Man's Back Again his voice and his craft had won me over. Not sure I'm up for re-evaluating Tilt, but Scott 4 was fun for 30-(quite) odd minutes.

Meh, he can clearly sing but it's missing something. Like bond ballads that never get there.

The World’s Strongest Man // Rhymes of Goodbye

I liked the Scott Walker song on the soundtrack of The Life Aquatic, but everything else I've heard is so different. This album is just a bunch of vocal show-offyness with bland lyrics that are all about "a maAaAaAan" or "the LaAaAadyYy" or "the boy child" and everything is described as "naked".

Avant-Pop. Recht experimentell für ein Pop Album von 69. Allerdings auch ein bisschen zu ruhig und eintönig für meinen Geschmack.

A good album, with a progressive feel - ahead of its time for '69. Not neccessarily to my taste, right now I am not into 'crooner' or post-crooner (?) music. I appreciate it but I doubt I'll return to it oftern. I have friends who idolise Scott Walker and I know he has an extensive catalogue so I am certainly open to exploring his music further to see if his music grows on me.Knowing nothing about the man, I feel there is a complex story there given how passionately people feel about him.

Summary: Beautiful string arrangements, tasteful acoustic guitars, and light drums (among others) accompany Walker's confident baritone vocal in this excellent album. Some unusual mixing (especially with the vocals), but brilliant and luscious textures easily make up for this. The lyrics were really pretty too. The genre was difficult to pin down; Walker's one of those musicians that creates his own signature style. This was a tossup between a 4 and a 5, but I'm reserving the latter for unquestionable masterpieces, and a few questions could be asked about this album. The Seventh Seal: Lovely voice and dramatic, legato instrumental backing it in the intro. Either a weird vocal effect or a poor microphone setup gives it a semi-live feeling, but this mixes strangely with the studio-sounding percussion and guitars. Nice strings that only get better throughout the track. I'm finding it difficult to pin down the name of this style. Walker's powerful tenor-baritone is really something great. On Your Own Again: A brief, beautiful ballad. Sinistra-esque. Strings are again excellent. I wish this track had been extended. The World's Strongest Man: Not the direction I was expecting the lyrics to take based on the song's title, but it fits more with Walker's style. Something about the melody reminds me of a Billy Joel ballad, possibly in his River of Dreams era. Great stuff. Angels Of Ashes: The vocal is much louder in this track than previous ones, and it's a bit out of place. Very pretty acoustic guitar panned to the right, and some smooth strings (and occasional very high-pitched guitars? What is that instrument?) panned to the left. This song gave me chills, especially in the second half. Beautiful. Boy Child: We're back to the legato feel of the album intro. Another great track; not too much to comment on that hasn't already been said about previous tracks. Hero Of The War: The prominent, deceptively simple-sounding percussion gives this track energy we haven't seen thus far. At one point he pronounces "war" so that it rhymes with "tar", even though the previous line ended with "more". (Hmm.) Loved The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated To The Neo-Stalinist Regime): Fantastic bassline. Bluesy melody, with heavy use of the major-IV chord giving a hopeful undertone to the primarily minor key. Gosh, this song is so good... I forgot to write things about it. Fun scatting in the outro. Duchess: A fairly nondescript but nonetheless beautiful track. (The main culprit was the very boring chords.) Love the smooth ending though. Get Behind Me: Fun verse, but it's the chorus where things really get crazy. Some choral harmonies and a very out-of-place electric guitar back Walker's powerful melody. The later verses are strong, especially with the acoustic guitar "hook". Uplifting. Rhymes Of Goodbye: A pretty, soaring waltz sends the album off on a good note.

There are too many crappy 60s and 70s albums on this list. OK boomer, nobody cares what you listened to on the radio while snogging Peggy Sue.

Pretty nice honestly, I could see this one grow on me. I dug it overall. Depression music? Perhaps. Am I depressed? Also yes. Not an every day listen... Still good though.

awful

Smooth

I'm guessing the people who love Leonard Cohen love Scott Walker. that person aint me.

Better than Scott Kelly

Good voice, boring songs

Hätte ich schon nicht hören müssen bevor ich sterbe

Grata sorpresa ... voz preciosa. Art popavant-garde.

What a beautiful and touching album. I really loved listening to it and felt moved by it. I totally think it deserves to be on the list and I hope to listen to it again soon.

Wonderful Torn between 4 and 5

first song got me thinking about ingmar bergman’s classic 1957 film for some reason
