I feel like the last startlingly original work that Tom did was on Bone Machine. After that, pretty much the same album time and again. Lots of people disagree with me on this. Within that same old shit is some amazing songwriting, but a lack of exploration of new territory. I think black rider came out after Bone Machine, but not sure when it was written, that was a bold album, but not sure it's place in the timeline. Ofc there is an occasional song on later albums which sounds original, but on the whole same album as the last every time.
I have 12 Tom Waits albums on my I tunes and a few on wax, I'll of course give this one a chance, but my skin doesn't tingle in anticipation.
Bone Machine is actually my favorite album so far. I do really like this new album Bad As Me. I will have to listen to it more times to decide which one I like more.
One day I was having Tom Waits fever, I bought multiple of his albums and listened to him all day long, and I got really sick of him by the end of the night. I took a break from him for awhile, recently the fever has slowly come back again.
