    "I'd sell your heart to the junk man baby, for a buck, for a buck..." It's a beautiful album, as beautiful and disturbing as Alice.

    a consistently darker, bolder and bloodier attitude than black rider or bone machine, though obviously an evolution of the sound of those albums.

    Dark and beautiful, gruff yet smooth, something that can only be accomplished by the great one.

    Minor league Waits for those of you who jumped on the bandwagon a bit late and still think that "Mule variations" is a good album. It's not -- and neither is this. Listen to "Bone Machine" again instead.

    Waits -- now in complete mastery of his unique art -- knows what he's doing, and the stark, unforgiving brutality is leavened, or granted grace, by passages of purple pathos. [Co-Album Of The Month, June 2002, p.106]
  2. Splendid

    Like waking up one morning to discover you suddenly like coffee, this is one of those albums that feels natural; the discord and the overwrought weepiness, the experimentalism and the simplicity -- everything works. It fits.

    A powerful and almost gleeful celebration of the horrors of the world. [May 2002, p.114]
