Our Take

Tom Waits’ Bone Machine is a cacophonous carnival ride through the twisted mind of a musical genius. From the clanging of pots and pans to the wailing of a distorted guitar, this album is a raw and gritty masterpiece.

Waits’ gravelly voice is the perfect vessel for the dark and eccentric tales he weaves throughout the album. He sounds like a man who has seen too much and lived to tell the tale, and his lyrics are filled with poetic imagery and black humor.

The instrumentation on Bone Machine is equally impressive, with Waits and his band creating a chaotic and haunting soundscape that perfectly complements the eerie vibe of the lyrics. The use of unconventional instruments adds to the album’s quirkiness, making it a truly unique listening experience.

Standout tracks include the haunting “Dirt in the Ground” and the frenzied “Goin’ Out West,” but every song on Bone Machine is a gem in its own right. This is not an album for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take a walk on the wild side, it is a musical journey like no other.

In conclusion, Bone Machine is a twisted and brilliant masterpiece that showcases Tom Waits at the height of his musical prowess. It may not be for everyone, but for those with a taste for the weird and wonderful, it is an absolute must-listen.
