Usually a really great recording takes several listens to get and absorb whats going on.  This thing has taken me several years to fully appreciate.  The world of Tilt is a difficult one to enter into but once you do all the hard work to get there is rewarded.  As a lyricist Walker is without peers!  I don't know who you might consider a great lyricist, Dylan etc. but they are just not on the same level as Walker displays here.  The music at times industrial others operatic minimal.  This is Art rock of the highest degree.  I think it's kind of funny that this CD is selling in the "Soft Rock" genre.  It is definitely not that.  So if you like challenging music, this is for you, don't give up to early because this is a magical world once you gain entry! Royalty!!!
