Those lyrics. That mood. This was My first foray into Tom's world: a gift when I was 14. I haven't looked back. From the alpha (the thumping primitive drums of "Earth Died Screaming") to the omega (the howling chorus of guys and guitars finishing off "That Feel"), this CD is like nothing else on the planet. This is a macabre, twisted world: a vision entirely of Mr. and Mrs. Waits devising (Kathleen Brennan is his wife and they write together- what a team!) Lyrically, this is light years beyond so much music out there. Namely all of it. Waits never stoops to cliche, never resorts to the old, crusty, stale rhymes and metaphors that haunt the minds of most song-smiths. His lyrics are restlessly inventive and vivid. When he tells a story he lures you in, shows you the scene and leaves you there to figure out what happened and find your own way home again. On the whole, this is a dark album, and it fits easily into his output from the 80's-90's...

Though he has long written some of the most distinctive and original songs in popular music, Waits's albums have at times been notoriously uneven. This was mostly in the 70's, when he was putting out an album a year for Asylum, and was practically gone by the time of his 80's re-invention with Swordfishtrombones, when he started releasing sprawling, epic albums for Island. Bone Machine is the culmination of that. Though not a concept album, all the songs on Bone Machine deal with the same grisly subject: mortality. The album is death-obsessed and deals with the oft-seeming futility of the human condition. And it is, as the title of one of the songs indicates, "all stripped down." Though by the time of this album's release, Waits had long ago abandoned the piano as the lead instrument in his songs in favor of an amalgram of horns and jangling percussion, Bone Machine often strips this idea down to the bare minimum. Earth Died...

And what an album it is. It comes packed with Waits' usual (or should I say UNusual) suspects, characters pulled from some horrific, gothically imaginative nightmare: Slam the Crank from Wheezer (where the HELL did he come up with that name?), Reba the Loon, Cal and Chenoweth, Hannibal (or maybe just Rex), a lady drinking alone in her room, murderers lurking in red barns and a mysterious suicidal individual, turning away from death only because he knows "the ocean doesn't want me today". We've all been in those black places, only Waits writes about them with such unflinching honesty and clarity that you cannot avoid the pain, even... Read more |
