"…obtuse, sepulchral music that…matches the ambient extremity of Aphex Twin and the queasy claustrophobia of Tricky…a chilling, often magnificent view into the abyss from a true iconoclast." – Rolling Stone
"…An unprecedented mix of industrial noise, shambling tone poetry, and lilting orchestration, Tilt…is a picaresque that turns on suggestive character studies of condemned crusaders and exiles…Walker's unearthly voice has never sounded so resourceful." – Spin
"…On most of Tilt, Walker deliberately short circuits the awesome virtuosity of his voice…by singing in a cooler, more neutral style." - Vibe
