    Pure, unadulterated, scary, emotional genius. Tom's my hero. (Does that sound pandering?)

    there is no finer album in its genre, whatever that genre might be. waits is a little like psychoanalysis or lsd - until you have "experienced" it, there is no understanding it.

    Art of the lost, spooky musical interludes, earlier tunes and feelings through a distorted musical prism, marvelous melodies, one of Tom's best

    Snap, crackle and pop. Delicious delirium, the paranoid assault of Blood Money is beautifully juxtaposed by the achingly tender embrace of Alice. It would be a sin to listen to one without the other.

    Like everything Waits does...it grows on you the more you listen to it. Beautiful, dark and desperate. It made me want to learn more about the back story. The only drawback, if you're not a Waits fan, this is not going to change your mind.

    Warm, poetic, funny, exciting, dark, inspired and utterly compelling. Sounds like a typical Tom Waits album. Tom is everything that's good about music. This album is the proof.

    Unlike almost every other artist, this man gets better as he gets older. He is better than Jesus.

    This is indeed an unusual output from Toom Wiats, somehow underrated after its release and definately requires some patience whilst digesting. Still many of the songs are remarkeably well-written, and the overall result is excellent. One of the best albums from the "third period" of Tom Waits' music output. Notice 'Kommienezuspadt' and 'Poor Edward' in particular. The two songs sum up much of either side of his remarkeable musicianship.… Expand

    While there is nothing new on Alice, the songs he develops are well-structured, elegant and as bawl-worthy as ever.

    Waits' voice has always been an acquired taste, but those on the bus will appreciate the way he throws himself into every track as if haunting the characters like some sort of lunatic guardian narrator.

    The sheer melodic gorgeousness of the finest songs here make Alice the pick of Waits's new matched set.
