Tom Waits himself has said that he over-romanticized being a drunkard and has been sober since about 1992 so I doubt he'd agree with you there.

Album is so much fun. I tend to listen to Waits a lot around Halloween.

listen to his 70s stuff for the romantic piano driven ballads and finger-snapping crooner jazz hand jigs. Some of his most beautiful songs are from this era.



listen to his 00s stuff for the off-kilter, wildly experimental "damn, how'd he think of that?!" tunes. Some of his most interesting and fun songs are from this era.

obviously think this is great but honestly think it coulda been trimmed to be less redundant

Album Rating: 4.0

I definitely could see that, just some seem to go on a bit less enticing than others which I think coulda help by trimming a couple songs, esp since they're so short

Album Rating: 4.5

Agreed tbh, but this is such a monster of an album that the surplus adds a different kind of weight. This was never meant to be a lean listen

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah, every track needs to be here, but there are other Waits albums that could be a bit shorter.

Bone Machine could have been pretty much perfect with a little fat trimmed :[
