You people are insane, Alice is his best album since Bone Machine. I think the ballads in his 70s and 80s album are of filler quality, but since the 90s they have been excellent.
As for the new album, after two listens I'm loving it. "Hell broke Luce" is probably my favourite track at the moment. The lyrics are a bit hard to hear throughout the album as is usual with modern era Waits album, but I usually pick up on them on further listening.
