Although "Mule Variations" zig zags far too often to be the sort of concept album for which
Waits has made his name, it is full of memorable and winning tunes. 'Big in Japan' is a
lecherously catchy guitar groover. 'Cold Water' sounds like the best song that the Exile-era
Stones never did. 'Picture in a Frame' and 'What's He Building?' are the sort of songs that
only Waits could do - the former a wearily depressive piano ballad and the latter a Red
Threat suburban paranoid horror story - and doesn't he sound like he loves it?

With this being the 3rd album of Waits' that I've listened to, I've resigned myself to never trying to understand Tom. One minute he's weirding the hell out of the listener with some spastic scat-singing affront, the next he's composing the most beautiful lullaby-like ballad I've heard in years. Whoever he is, he's undoubtedly a genius. 4.1/5

I love Tom Waits' growly, gravely "I've been smoking since I was a baby" vocals. This is some of the most interesting music I've listened to in a while, experimental and dirty sounding in the best way possible. This is the kind of music you feel like taking a shower after listening to.
