Actually, I'd quite like to give six stars here ...

... But does not go unfortunately. Therefore, five! Honestly one of the best albums of Waits, the songs are simple and consistent throughout the album super-varied. Waits has written and produced the whole album here (which is conceived as musical) with his wife, Kathy. A great team, you can only say.
The track "Innocent When You Dream" is probably the one or other still be known from Paul Auster and Wayne Wang's film "Smoke".
My personal favorites: "Cold, Cold Ground" and "Yesterday is here". A good business to know Waits oeuvre and to appreciate.
