If the whole album was as good as its four best tracks, this would be a 5-star classic. It's still really good, if a little inconsistent.

Favorite tracks: Here Comes the Regular, Bastards of Young, Little Mascara

This is Tom Waits at his Tom-Waits-iest. It's the definitive album of the sound he's most known for. While I prefer his earlier sound, it's hard not to like this strange mix of bar piano, art-house jazz, and sea shanty.

Favorite tracks: Clap Hands, Time, Gun Street Girl
