Tom Waits sophomore album is a personal favorite of mine, like the debut album its really accessible for Tom Waits standards unlike the debut record this is waaaay more jazzy then folksy, sonically and lyrically this reminds me of STEELY DAN aesthetically this album feels like your in the heart of downtown New York, its very lively compared to CLOSING TIME, CL feels more like your in a bar if that makes sense. My favorite track here is probably Drunk On The Moon, I always interpreted it as a sequel to FRANK SANATRAS Fly Me To The Moon. The songwriting is excellent although I prefer other albums writing wise but overall this is a fantastic album
