Free Music Notes for Foreign Affairs
Free Music Review: A Must buy
Hit: 4 Stars
This album is one of the best in a large collection of work from Waits. The album is worth the money for one song "California, here I come" a 5 min. story song that includes the best of any woman - she drove like andy granatelli and knew how to fix a flat- Well the whole album is good and you will certanly enjoy "Potter's Feild" its very Tom Waits, chilling and moving,his voice is a instrument he plays perfectly. You must own this album if you like Tom or are just starting, belive me your Waits collection will grow, this is a must buy.Free Music Review: Burma Shave
Hit: 4 Stars
It looks like Tom Waits just took a small break between creating two genuine masterpieces "SMALL CHANGE" and "BLUE VALENTINES". Giving this album 4 stars is a relief and a support for the listeners' objectiveness as one would feel uncomfortable and unfair rating all TW's albums 5 stars. "Muriel" is a beatiful ballad, the duo with Bette Midler sounds very nice but the true gem of "FOREIGN AFFAIRS" is, of course "Burma Shave" - a breathtaking song that sets the mood for the whole album.Free Music Review: Certainly not his best work, but ...
Hit: 4 Stars
Even though I wouldn't rate this as Waits' best work, it's still a must-have. Of course, I think that all of his work is worth owning; he is the greatest songwriter living today. I guess what I like least about this album is the general lounge-lizard sound of most of the performances. Probably the only album that I like less is Big Time, but I still wouldn't consider my collection complete without either of these; there are real treasures on both CDs that make them worth owning.Free Music Review: great cd, but not his best
Hit: 4 Stars
I love every album Tom has made, but in my opinion this should be one of the last you buy. It's got some great songs (especially Burma Shave)but the album as a whole seems incomplete to me. More of a stepping stone from great albums to even greater albums. If you're looking for good old stuff get Small Change, Blue Valentine, Nighthawks first; then pick this one up.Free Music Review: Weaker Waits
Hit: 3 Stars
Although this album can portray the moody grumbler's early-career, jazz-club-cat almost comically in retrospect, it is only because of what an expansive and respected artist Waits fully became, as even his lesser inspired works highlight a haggardly engaging lyricist.
