Brilliance, thy name is Tom Waits. Not a single album , not a double album , nay- these are not good enough for Tom. Ladies and Gentlemen: A Triple Album! That's right - A Triple Album. Orphans: Brawlers , Bawlers and Bastards. A-fuckin-mazing! Screw little Jimmy and his Christmas present, buy this for yourself- NOW!
The songs divide pretty much as inidicated. The first album is more industrial backbeat/angry Tom the second much more drunk-in-a-bar Tom and the third, well- has anyone ever wished Captain Beefheart made one more album? He just did. Some of my favorite tracks include Heigh Ho (yes , that Disney Heigh Ho) Goodnight Irene, and all of Bastards. Hell, the whole thing. Just listen to the whole thing. Repeatedly. Alone. In the dark. The William Vollman of music is at it again. This isn't just the best album of 2006, it is most likely the best album of 2007 too.
