I don't know what you mean here, its indecipherable. But I don't know how I'm on the otherside of the world if you're "right behind me." Seriously, what the hell are you saying?

^Are you stupid? I've been here for only a few weeks and I'm really struggling to see why you're a mod. Why be so petty? You seem to be the person here who would have the new Tom Waits, and you seem to have infinite wisdom, so tell us what you think of the new cd! I believe that is all that was asked.

He's pretty much one of the seminal songwriters, a bunch of great albums to his name. Bone Machine is just one of his classics that everybody should own.

Really? Bone Machine over his other stuff? What makes you say that?

Its a totally uncohesive album in terms of production and arrangements. Stylistically its very fractured and all over the place and I like that about it. Most of his other records hold together more.

Well I agree up to a point, a lot of the begining sounds similar but once you hit "in the collaseum" it takes a sharp left turn then veres off the road.

I ask because it seems like other albums are more quintessential and that others are more palitable.

While I regard Bone Machine as a great album with some amazing songs (Going out west, Murder in the red barn, I don't wanna grow up) it doesn' seem like something people "ought to own."

Thats the only point I disagree with you on, I obviously love Waits seeing as my avatar, bi-line and quote revolve around him or his music.

The problem with words like quintessential or seminal is that music critics tend to follow one another so just about every review you read will talk about how Rain Dogs is his best album and no other opinion gets voiced.

Additionally one of the things I like most about Bone Machine is the fact that it is inaccessible to a certain degree.
