Good album.

Ce ne fossero di "cattivi come lui".

Bad as me, is another excellent album in terms of songs, but it all feels a little like Tom Waits is trying to make the stereotype Tom Waits album. This is the first Waits record where I feel he is stuck, and not quite sure which direction he wants to go in, so he's decided to cover all Tom Waits bases. There's great stuff here like, talking at the same time, hell broke luce, and, back in the crowd, but it's nothing we haven't heard before. Even, new years eve, feels almost like a parody. It's the first Waits album that doesn't have anything new on it. Still, as I said, it's brilliant in terms of quality, but a little short on originality.

Tom Waits is one of those rare artists who just keeps getting better with age.

This is the only Tom Waits album I own myself.
I know his music from friends but I am not sure about the albums names that I have heard. Whatever: This one is my own and it's super.

This is just Tom Waits doing what Tom Waits does best. Making incredible music. He’s never been one to soar across the radio and be incredibly well known, but those who do know him can really appreciate his genius. He’s got a voice that one may call an acquired taste, but if you can look past that, you can see the great music he makes and this album is no exception. Every song is very well-written both lyrically and musically.

Forty years into his career, Tom Waits can still make great, fresh, original music that sounds different from all his previous work. I like every album he's made, and this one's no exception. His best since Mule Variations.
