this is probably my favourite of the non-essential Wait's albums.
I don't agree with the reviewer's notion that Romeo Is Bleeding is a weak or shallow track. True, the layers of a track like Singapore or Shore Leave are not present, however the subtleties how the other characters perceive Romeo, or how Romeo thinks of himself lend a lot of insight into gangster mentality and just adds another colour to the pallet of seedy Waits characters that we know and love. Is Romeo the guy trying to pick up the naive down-on-her-luck-lady in $29.00?

This is a bit underrated I feel. Or just overlooked by the albums that followed

I listened to this just yesterday and I felt exactly the same thing. This is definitely overlooked in his discog, some of his most beautiful songs are in here.

Might actually be my favourite of his that I've heard thus far.

I'm not familiar with Franks Wild Years, but Closing Time is great. You can't go wrong with Waits, but Rain
Dogs, Swordfishtrombones, Mule Variations, Real Gone and Bone Machine are waiting for you to jam them ;)

I mean I've heard in order from closing time to FWY. So I've heard (and love) Rain Dogs and Swordfishtrombones.

Oh sorry, my bad! His later period is not as good, but it's definitely worth it too

Perhaps not Waits' best, but definitely his most emotionally striking and heartfelt
|

I've heard his first two, Small Change, and Swordfishtrombone thru Bone Machine. I've been meaning to check this one out. What's the style on it?

It still has the piano-driven, melodic blues style of the first two, but with deeper arrangements, and a slightly stronger songwriting in my opinion. You also get hints of his more experimental period at times.

Needs to be bumped because it may be a 5, and is probably best Waits.

Sounds like his first dip into his experimental side, no?
