New Year’s Eve - Tom Waits
(from: Bad As Me)
—After 2 months with the new Waits album, I must say, though I always love new Waits music, I regret to say overall that I am disappointed by his most recent album. It is good and that’s fine, but it’s just not quite on par with the majority of his catalog (especially everything since 1983, excluding Night On Earth). It is not a “life changer” as I would say (dramatically as hell). But it is good, and there is good stuff on it. This is my favorite track.
