Waits' best ... Carnival music (which is just the creepy version of a waltz anyway) and avant-garde orchestrations brought a whole new aspect of Tom Waits to the foreground at the time. What a perfect project for Tom Waits! Like Woyzeck (Blood Money), not to mention Alice, The Black Rider (Der Freischutz) is perfectly complimented by Waits' inimitable style(s). Now, he's done the aforementioned albums and so, looking back, it only seems natural. William S. Burroughs (of which I'm a huge fan as well) co-wrote many selections and is even featured vocally on "TAint No Sin". So, his inclusion is even more of a treat, which shows why this is my biased review, as well favourite album. I do agree with the previous reviewers here, in that I would not recommend this album as an introduction to Waits. Other more accessible albums would be better (perhaps Alice, Heartattack and Vine, Rain Dogs, Heart of Saturday Night - maybe even Real Gone). Nevertheless, once you're initiated, there's no better album in the Tom Waits' catalog. .
