It's not as good as the debut, but you know, that's probably because the debut was perfect. Feels like a one-guy-piano-bar, with one drunken guy on the bar, a smoker, and a guy hanging around in the corner near the jukebox... all are side in Waits' personallity, of course. Worth mentioning are: New Coat of Paint, The great piano ballads Shiver Me Timbers and Drunk on the moon, The great Contra-Bass in Diamonds on my Windshield and the wondeful title track.
