Just not for me eh
I fucking hate tom waits
still don't like tom waits
Han mistet meg når det plutselig ble Mikke Mus-stemme. Albumet er for eksperimentelt til at jeg gidder høre det
I’m not a fan
No good
Not for me
it was kind of like primus with worse singing and worse music. very difficult listen.
What the fuck is wrong with people who like Tom Waits!
Eu ja ouvi a discografia toda do Tom Waits e nao sou fa, musica de bebado em bar.
If this is music then bring on the chatGPT age
Skipped through and listened to bits, after being burned by the previous Tom Waits album we were served. It’s just dog shit. Boycotted the album and listened to Gorillaz - Plastic Beach all day instead, with the knowledge that Bone Machine is on this list and zero Gorillaz albums are on it. I can’t SPAKE
man, i have TRIED with Tom Waits. really. and I don't like him. sorry not sorry!
Que bosta. Fala sério!
1.75
This is the 3rd or 4th Tom Waits album suggestion in the last 3 months. Too many. I'm not a fan to begin with and this volume of his work has only solidified that.
Deze plaat kwam uit toen ik nog veel CDs kocht. De naam en hoes ken ik goed, maar ik heb pas sinds kort echt eens wat gedraaid van Tom en geconcludeerd dat ik een naar haat neigende haat-liefde verhouding met 'm heb. Deze plaat is in ieder geval verschrikkelijk.
Dreadful
I’ve gotta say this is one of the worst albums I’ve heard. A mixture of the lyrics and his grumbly and crumbly voice I can safely say I would never ever listen to any of these songs again. Is this influential for avowing what not to do if you want to be a successful artist? My apologizes if you enjoy this kind of stuff- but please keep that to yourself because it’s embarrassing. 😬😬😬 #sorry
It's the vocals. If course - it's always the vocals that ruin absolutely everything. The earth died screaming and I died listening to this. Tom Waits... I can see him having some small - SMALL - cult following but there's no goddamn way this or anything else I've ever heard from him should approach any list of something I need to hear before I die. If he'd given the tracks to someone else - anyone else - to sing over this it could have been something real nice. But he didn't, and it's not. Wrecked. 2/10 1 star
I didn’t get this one at all.
I was really hopping there were no more Waits albums on this but I guess god hates us all. I’ll say it straight: this is shit. That parody singing is borderline offensive and why would he keep with the same puking over the microphone for decades I can only guess… by this time I know he damaged his vocal cords while recording and that he did not care because there were assholes always available to listen to this shit. Please god, no more waits albums!
Not his best work.
I really did think about it for a hot second, but naah. Some song’s vocals were too off putting. 1
This is the fourth time I’ve had to suffer through a Tom Waits album. If this list makes me listen to any more, I’m going to lose it.
Oh fucking give up Waits, you stupid raspy hack. 1/5.
Waits (vai Kathleen Brennan) on kohtalaisen kiinnostava sovittaja, jonka kokeilut tällä saralla ovat sinänsä perusteltuja. Biisintekijänä hän ei kuitenkaan ole mistään kotoisin: Waits, samoin kuin joku Elvis Costello, on selvästi opiskellut historiansa ja kuunnellut klassikot laidasta laitaan, mutta missään vaiheessa hänen kehitelmänsä eivät saavuta sitä melodista tai rytmistä variaatiota, joka vaaditaan siirtymään genreharjoitelmasta sävellykseen. Ja hienoa, sanoitukset ovat synkkiä - mitä sitten? Loppuvaikutelma: teennäistä paskaa.
Didn’t excite me.
Niet mijn muziek….
So fucking bad. How is this guy rated and famous? I've suffered two albums by him now. Atrocious.
pretty OK 1.5
Dreadful
I don’t have anything witty to say about how horrible his voice is, like all the other reviewers try to do. I just didn’t derive any enjoyment from this album, except for the times I laughed at how goofy and clunky it was. Even if his voice were good I don't think I'd care about the music. There were some good lyrics but I don't factor that in much when I think about whether I liked the music
Not my thing
I think I’ve herd of him before… The album opens with the earth died screaming well I half hated it as the instrumental of the song is good but this isn’t even a hilariously bad voice, it’s just shit. Dirt on the ground is gloomy and slightly jazzy, he has a raspy voice on this song that actually complements it well ( but I still wouldn’t listen to this ever again). Such a scream has such a scream to his voice It’s just not my type of thing. Wow what a horrible song! Was what I thought when I herd all striped down. Who are you this time is probably the best it’s still a shit acoustic track though. The ocean is a druggie spoken word interlude, nothing bad but not a good song. Jesus gonna be here is slightly bluesy I would actually say this song is passable if it wasn’t backed by the most boring rhythm. A little rain is okay vocally he doesn’t exaggerate his annoying traits too much but the song is dull and lifeless. In the colosseum is wired his vocals work well in this song and I guess it can be appreciated as experimental music but it’s too bad to be liked. Okay now we have something that’s alright in the form of Goin’ out west a true rocker with bad arse guitars ( even his vocals are still shit). Murder in the red barn is boring just folky and dull filler. Black wings is odd spoken word over a cool instrumental I really don’t like it but it’s in the top songs of this album. Whistle in the wind is sweet it would’ve worked perfectly as an album closer it’s in the same Goin’ out west, black wings tier where I don’t love ( or even like) it too much but it’s still solid. And if his voice didn’t sound like a hillbilly who smokes tobacco for every second of his life I don’t wanna grow up would be one of those better songs too ( well I guess it’s still one of the albums best if I were to rank the tracks). Let me down up on it is an interlude that sounds like a shorter version of all stripped down. Oh and we’ve finally reached the end with that feel it’s shit but not bad. Wow this was bad; the second half was slightly better but it’s still a 1. I think if it was like 8 or 9 songs and only had the greatest songs it might’ve been higher but there’s so much shit that it’s not worth it.
No just no
To weird
I respect Tom Waits but that doesn't mean I like his music. Very grating and absolutely not for me. I had to break this album up over a few days because I couldn't take more than a few songs at a time. Never going to listen to this again.
No
Nope.
Puh. Give me Helge Schneider anytime, aber das hier halte ich wirklich nicht gut aus.
not 4 me lmao
TW is iconic — can’t deny that. But I do not enjoy his music.
Bro.... I fuckin hated it.
As the only person that seemed to like the prior album by him on this list, his voice when he got older makes this almost unlistenable.
Might be a little too 'experimental' for my tastes. Not a pleasant listening experience. 1/5.
Horrible. Skipped all throughout. Would give 0 stars if I could. Worst album yet. 1/10.
Strange.
A bit too weird
I think there’s art in here somewhere??
Very rough, grumbly vocals - is it singing or spoken...who knows? My vocal cords hurt listening to this. Not sure if this is on purpose, but this music makes me viscerally uncomfortable. I want it to end. Some later songs are less discordant. Couldn't finish it.
Not me
Te gimmicky, vond dit echt niks. Kon er niet doorheen komen.
Strange, but an interesting listen.
