I'd give Hell Broke Luce a shout out if ten people hadn't got there before me.

What would be the best album to start with for this dude?

By the way, horrible album art.

Don't ever listen to him. He's one of the most talented and important voices in music history. You will cry and leap at your Living End records the second you hear Goin' Out West.

I guess for me that immediately lowers the score at least .5, and I think if he'd tried something completely new it would have only gotten 4.5 from me anyway. To each his own in that regard.

Yeah dude I get where you're coming from.

I started with Rain Dogs, though maybe simultaneously check out that and Closing Time (his first album) because they are completely different. Rain Dogs is like most of the albums on his career (in a general sense) whereas Closing Time is basically piano blues/ballads and his voice sounds way different.

Also album art is cool when it's not horrible quality like above. Well, that is to say, I myself enjoy looking at grinning Tom Waits head with beautiful colors next to him. It's all about the composition man the composition!!!!!

I think the album art is typically awesome "Tom Waits" all over the place.

This didn't grab me at all. I don't ever feel compelled to put it on.

"Dirt in the Ground" is one of his finest songs, I don't get how you can laugh at it. My review of this album will be coming up one of these days.

It depends on what you like more experimental rock ("Going Out West" and stuff like that) or blues and jazz (a guy sitting at a piano in a smoky bar kinda thing). His earlier stuff is the latter, his recent and mid-career stuff is more along the lines of the former.



"Dirt in the Ground" is one of his finest songs, I don't get how you can laugh at it. My review of this album will be coming up one of these days.


Because his voice is not exactly suited for a falsetto, so the fact that he was attempting one brought a smile to my face. Then when it turned out to be terrible I thought he had done it as a joke, just to hear what it sounded like and maybe to push his sound a little bit, I couldn't take it seriously.

This album is amazing. Really seems like it brings in aspects from all of his musical eras and does it in a nice package. "Chicago" sends chills up my spine

A guy for my school newspaper reviewed this, gave it 2/5 and at one point called his style a mix of rock and industrial and then I threw up a little
