With these astounding 54 songs (plus two bonus tracks) Tom Waits has added a vital new work to his catalog. The title, Orphans, refers to the songs either being from a range of outside projects, various impulses, and whims, or simply not having found a place on the albums for which they were intended. While that scenario has constituted a stopgap measure for lesser artists, this set stands alongside Waits's finest work. He has shaped it into three separate discs, each one separately titled after the prevailing character of its tracks and playing with its own mood and dramatic arc. Brawlers favors raucousness and uptempo grinds and grooves, while Bawlers showcases balladry and the more overtly poetic. Bastards is a funhouse of angular characters, spiky anecdotes, shaggy dogs, and even a Kurt Weill cover. The set offers everything from the amped-up rockabilly hiccuping of "Lie to Me" to the breathtaking perfection of "Shiny Things," and from the outraged political reporting of "Road to Peace" to the closing-time lament of "Little Man." --David GreenbergerMore from Tom WaitsRain DogsSwordfishtrombonesClosing TimeFranks Wild YearsThe Heart of Saturday NightSmall ChangeMule VariationsNighthawks at the DinerBone MachineReal Gone2) Description
The three disc set is packaged in a fold-out digipak with a beautifully designed 24-page booklet, including neverbefore-seen Waits' photographs.

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) Its Tom Waits, and lots of it [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Tom Waits has had a great last decade gaining a wide audience of people from all walks of music (this guy is insanely popular with people into death metal as well as people into blues but not the other etc) and ages. Grizzled sea shanties, blues rockers, jungle warbles, garbles of chewed up tape, gourds as xylophones. This is pretty much what you would expect from the Tom Waits as of recently, only instead of a concentrated choice of cuts it appears everything recorded was released as a whole. It seems incomplete ideas and filler get left in, but thats not a bad thing at all . I must say for a guy that has spent the best half of his career mimicking Captain Beefheart (who was mimicking Howlin Wolf) he is making steady progression in sound while still being the same dirty old hat.2) Could easily pass for a career retrospective... [Rating: 5 out of 5]
...not so much because the music reflects every single phase of Tom Waits' distinguished history (it doesn't really have anything that sounds like his first few albums), but because it's very hard to believe that such a massive and diverse collection of songs could simply be Waits' latest release. Sure, some of these tracks are reissued from the last ten years (soundtracks and other compilations), but for the most part this three-disc collection shows that Tom Waits has apparently got an inexhaustable muse."Orphans" is an ideal purchase for both the long-term, diehard Waits fan AND the curious newcomer looking to find out about him. There are so many great songs it's pointless to discuss them all, but I think "Tell It To Me" might be the prettiest tune Waits has ever written. Meanwhile, "Lie To Me," "2:19" and his cover of "The Return of Jackie and Judy" (one of two Ramones covers here) rock as hard as anything he ever did. And for your more wigged-out moods, try "First Kiss" or "The Pontiac" on for size. There's something for everyone!Special mention goes to "Sea of Love" - Waits turns the original (a fairly formulaic love song fit for high-school dances c. 1962) into a spooky, bluesy moaner, with a brilliant lyrical twist in the chorus.For an artist to come up with this much new and worthwhile music 35 years into his career is an absolute inspiration.3) great album - must buy [Rating: 5 out of 5]
tom waits is one of the best and this album is further proof of his excellentness.4) Orphans [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I got it almost a year ago when it was released by Amazon, i ordered it inmediatly, and is still one of he albums I listen to regulary.The package desing is excellent, with all the lyrics of the album, new and old. Tom Waits is a musical genius. His music grows and stays in you. Expecting something new next year?5) brilliant, of course. [Rating: 5 out of 5]
If you are reading this, you already know you need to own it. Tom is Tom and this is him doing what he does best. He is always at the top of his game and his career has never peaked, it is just one long brilliant plateau. Buy and enjoy!
