My fourth favorite Waits album? I think so.

Swordfishtrombones
Rain Dogs
Heart of Saturday Night
Mule Variations
Blue Valentine

This wasn't the first Tom Waits album I enjoyed (that was Closing Time), but it's the one that convinced me on later-period Waits. Probably third on my list after Closing Time and Swordfishtrombones, and tied with Bone Machine. Take it With Me and Come On Up to the House are ridiculously good.

Take It With Me is such a gorgeous, sad track.
