Title: Had To Respond To All The Glowing Reviews
Review: After reading all the glowing reviews for this CD, I felt that I had to provide at least a partial rebuttal. First, let me say that I've been a T.W. fan for over 25 years, through all his iterations. He is, quite simply, one of my favorite artists. That said, this is the only Waits CD I can't relate to AT ALL. I must have listened to this thing at least 20 times over a two year period before finally giving up selling it. This is the only Waits I've ever parted with. If you like his "post-Swordfish" style, try "Rain Dogs", "Bone Machine", "Blood Money, or "Alice" - damn near anything but this (even "Mule Variations", if you must). If you love Waits, you'll probably have to try this (like I did), but consider yourself warned.
Is the review positive or negative?
