And well, I could never get into Blue Lines, it seems like such a sparse album compared to Mezzanine (and the monotone delivery is really off-putting at times).
I'd say you should give King For a Day another chance. As I said it's not as mind-bending as Angel Dust, but it's still a wonderful and eclectic album. Truthfully I could just as easily have stuck the latter in though. Regarding Tom Waits I have Rain Dogs, which was another near-miss for inclusion here. Bone Machine sounds really interesting from what I've read about it, and I'll definitely check out the others you mentioned sometime.
