Critics' Quotes, Bad As Me

“There’s a barrel-chested, big-hearted swagger about Bad As Me, Waits determined to subsume every one of his personas in a lusty embrace – he has never before sung in so many distinct voices on one album…Bad As Me is the sound of a supremely confident artist convening a raucous celebration of his own myth…A swaggering multifarious tour de force.”

Critics' Quotes, Bad As Me

“Tom Waits remains a singular, fascinatingly elusive character. Bad As Me…keeps the myth intact and he remains unknown and untouchable, but there is renewal and evolution…He plays to his strengths, merging adventurism and experimentation with his former tenderness…It's hard to think of anyone making music so uncompromising, but so utterly beautiful.”

Critics' Quotes, Bad As Me

“Best of all, following a career that stretches nearly four decades, Waits remains an energetic and agitated musical outlier, pushing boundaries and avoiding compromise. …Waits somehow alchemizes eight decades of folk culture into something wholly modern and original. It is a towering song sprung from the mind of a great author, one who began as a faithful follower and graduated into a legend of his own.”
