I fucking love this album. It's like the Cookie Monster started a band and got a record deal with Disney. My favorites are the really quirky ones, but the more ballad-esque songs are excellent, too.

I never listened Tom Waits yet. But I saw many chart feature his works and it intringued me. So I want to try his albums. I don't know where to start. Can you guide me how to get in him?

I like this, but have a hard time taking it seriously, so I can't put it up as high as it deserves, because it really is amazing.

Tom Waits, to me, has that signature grumbling/singing voice and I think it's amazing.
