5 Star Rating  "Dark and Humorous, Classic Waits"2008-05-11
- Reviewed By danplacebo
A Tom Waits album is the aural equivalent of walking down a dark twisty path with a cantankerous old uncle who mixes Old Testament wisdom with dirty jokes. Franks Wild Years is another entry in this fine tradition.
As you may already know, this album is taken from an opera that Tom and Kathleen wrote. If you are interested in further explorations of this project, check out Big Time - both the album and the movie (available only on VHS). The studio version of Down in the Hole is great, but the live version is truly amazing and even hilarious. Check it out!

- Reviewed By User: ACS39ELX45A3C
Tom Waits has one sound and is at least consistent for sticking to it. If you listen to more than one Waits's album, then you have heard it all before. His sound, unique and unforgettably that of an intense hang-over from cheap liquor, sticks with the listener long after the music ends.

if you don't already have this cd, i want to know why? who told you you don't need this? did your old lady say you don't need this? did she wake up with a wild hair up her behind and say something like, "Leroy, we already have sooo many cds!" well, don't listen to your old lady. you need this. if you don't have this cd, you definitely need it. you're gonna be comin home from work and sittin down to drink a few forties and you're gonna need somethin just right to listen to. and this is the cd that is just right for that moment. so forget what the old lady says, get this cd now.

What can I say ? One of the best, in one of his best works. Seems like being married to an actress influenced Waits' theatrical point of view. It IS indeed a play. Don't miss it.
 
5 Star Rating  "Ecclectic doesn't even begin to describe it"2007-01-02
- Reviewed By twilight1
FRANK'S WILD YEARS (title taken from a SWORDFISHTROMBONES tune) is a record of sound. No kiddin' Sherlock, you say; it's a music record. Please note, I didn't say it was a record of "music." I mean, yes, this is a musical record--but the emphasis, as with it's two predecessors SWORDFISHTROMBONES and RAIN DOGS, it upon sonic diversity.

I guess WILD YEARS is a polka record. It does tell the story of a young accordian player from the butt-end of nowhere ("Rainville. Hardly ever did, though. Rain, that is. It was nowhere.") bent on making the big time ("I'm goin' straight up to the top, oh yeah, up where the air is fresh and clean"). He hits a lot of potholes along the way ("It's more than rain that falls on our parade tonight"), eventually crashing and burning ("It was a train that took me away from here/But a train can't bring me home"). And we are just listeners along for the ride, reveling in Waits's ever-expanding experimentation with what all he can do with a few instruments, some lyrics, and his haunting, gravelly voice.
 
5 Star Rating  "if ever you are blue..."2006-10-20
- Reviewed By bconvery
...turn to tom waits. all the problems in yourlife, tom will be right there, all you need to do is listen. human's are social creatures, tom waits is the genius mind, the friend and storyteller, who will make you feel better because you'll be able to relate to the music and stories he tells. tom understands that sadness is just another emotion in life that everyone needs to deal with. and he touches upon this, becomes your shoulder to cry on, all you need is his lyrics and music. this is a very melancholy album. but i guarantee if you're blue, start singing along to "innocent when you dream". shout it! it's a victory song. listen to the lyrics of "more than rain". this heals the wounded soul.


i don't review many things any more. i don't want to be critical, just way too much negative energy. don't trust my opinions and formulate your own. if anything, trust tom. he's got what will make you feel better.
 
5 Star Rating  "This album is insane"2005-11-27
- Reviewed By sametrack
Possibly Waits' most unusual work. It is a very strange mix of polka, rhumba, jazz, folk, blues, rockabilly, lounge, etc. It's pretty much impossible to describe this album in words, it needs to be listened to to be understood (if understood at all). It is highly experimental. His orchestration is fiercely imagined and masterfully presented. It is one of those albums so rich, vivid, bizarre, and beautiful that you realize you were just in the hands of a genius when it finishes playing. In my opinion it is probably the quintessential Waits album, because it shows so much of his range, perfectly capturing the humor, tragedy, poetry, and charm of his music.
Temptation is one of his all-time greats in my book.

It should also be noted that I believe this to be, next to Alice, his darkest album. There's a very creepy and brooding tone throughout. I think anyone interested in waits' catalogue ought to make this one of their first purchases.
 
5 Star Rating  "A Excellent Piece of Music"2005-08-03
- Reviewed By dkilla
Tom Waits' final in his trilogy is an excellent album. This is some vintage music by Waits. He shows so many sides of himself on this record. The songs were written for an opera and cowrote them all with his wife. He accordion is used very well throughout the album. Its cool that he does a crooner voice like Sinatra too. Favorites include Hang on St. Christopher, Straight to the Top (Both Versions), Temptation, Innocent When You Dream, I'll Be Gone, Yesterday Is Here, I'll Take New York, More Than Rain, and Cold Cold Ground. Get this with the other two. Highly Recommended.
 
5 Star Rating  "He makes all the mistakes, but...."2004-12-20
- Reviewed By lpquirchepks
A friend of mine describes Tom Waits as sounding like Bruce Springsteen with throat cancer! Tom's songs are filled with coughing, singing out of tempo, sour notes, and of course that horrendous voice of his. It's sort of like a garbage can's rotting contents of music. But dammit, it's really good! It's catchy, believe it or not - if you are not already a fan. Because he breaks all the rules it makes you wonder what it is that "good" music consists of. Mozart would probably tear his hair out if he heard it, but dammit, Tom Waits is really good!
