Review title: unfortunately uninspired...
Product review: Owning every Tom Waits album,I really wanted to like this one, but I didn't. It just falls flat. Of course there are a couple of good ones (it IS Mr. Waits after all). But on the whole, it's not a must have. Get Swordfishtrombones if your searching for a begining in his hobo-tramp years, or The Heart of a Saturday Night for his beatnik-piano-man years.I hate to let one song ruin an album for me, but "what's he building in there?" does just that. The song reminds me simultaneously of this old Saturday Night Live skit where Steve Martin repeated asks "what the hell is that?" and Bone Machine's "the ocean doesn't want me." Both these skits worked the first time, but to re-hash them goes about as far as Weekend at Bernies II.
