Uh well if you people only saw what I edited out of my casual posts, you probably wouldn't ask my opinion on anything Waits. I'm not sure what you mean by "I really enjoy it, but there seems to be a lacking of interest."
You mean you are lacking an interest, or you feel he's disenfranchised with some of the songs...like he's half-assing it.

Depends what type of music you're into. Ethan might know your taste better than I would, and he might be able to recommend something to you, but I'll help if you want to PM me what (and more importantly, why) you like.
I guess my responses without further knowledge would be:
@ Lips: Grab Mule Variations, its rootsy and eclectic. Theres some heavy experimentation at times and occasionally it could have come from 1895.
@ Roses: Rain Dog's is a disjointed masterpiece. I feel as if the first 6 trackers aren't the same as the last 6. And neither group is like the middle. I get the idea often enough to conclude its my opinion that this was written in three separate time periods.
The standout tracks, if you're really not getting hit by it, are likely Time, Tango till their Sore*, Downtown Train, and Anywhere I lay my head.
Nothing is bad, those are just better. But certainly tell me what you're into and I'll try and get you something you might like, even if its on another album.
*let that one marinate.
