[edit] Summary

This album expanded on the stylistic change that was evident with X Marks the Pedwalk's previous release, Meshwork. According to frontman André Schmechta, Drawback is his favorite X Marks the Pedwalk release. [2]

Regarding the cover and inside art, Schmechta has said: "And do not ask me about helicopters!! I do not know what they could have to do with "Drawback"?! When I showed the sleeve to Estefania I asked her the same question and she laughed saying: 'Helicopters can be very fast...like time can be!'" The themes of time and its passage are recurring motifs in the lyrics of the songs on Drawback. [3]

Drawback was released in Europe under the Zoth Ommog catalogue number ZOT 196, and in North America under the Metropolis Records catalogue number MET 076.
