The darkest, most experimental and shocking work of his career.
The sound, woven together with rusty percussion sounds, distorted guitars, and rough vocals, is like a symphony of "death and rebirth" reverberating inside a dilapidated factory.
The low-fidelity, dry soundscape represents the pinnacle of Waits' pursuit of "sound theatre," and in 1993 it won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.
