Tom Waits at this point needs no introduction, he has an iconic mix of Jazz, Blues and Avant Garde music with splashes of Gothic County and a very cartoon like version of industrial rock and I'd say that all of those traits really shine here and I personally believe that Bone Machine is his best album. The album opens with what sounds like a ribcage xylophone? It's very cartoon sounding and then We get Tom's description of The Bible's Revalations. Following up that is a very gloomy song a nice little ballad like track but we're given to tracks that really hit the nail on the head "Such A Scream" is a very CAPTAIN BEEFHEART esc song from the vocals to the instrumental then what follows that song is a very RESIDENTS like song which reminds me a lot of there album DUCK STAB with some Captain Beefheart like vocals. The album seems to be heavily themed around death and man the sound of the album surely reflects that. Really I don't know what to say this is a terrific and a must for any music fan
