    so, what's wrong with it being favored towards ballads? i don't get that comment at all. there's like 40 other tom waits albums that are designed for alternate amusements, maybe one of those will favor what you prefer it to favor. this one is beautifully and perfectly crafted for the exact purpose that it serves, a beautiful and texturally resplendent reveal into the tsunami waves of artistic potency that are tom waits: expressed in ballads that capture collective cultural emotion that would be otherwise lost without the gift of tom's voice evoking, for us.

    Franks Wild Years as an album may not be indispensable, but some of the songs are. Listen to “I’ll Be Gone” a frantic, accordion-driven tale and one of the most engaging songs on the album. The lyrics are as entertaining as the song itself. “Temptation” showcases Tom Waits’ howling falsetto, or as he likes to call it “his Prince voice”. It’s a terrific ballad and easily one of the albums strong points. “Hang On Saint Christopher” kicks off the album nicely with distorted vocals, as if through a megaphone, over a horn-driven backing. Several songs are worthwhile, but the album is arguably too favored towards ballads.

    This is a great 'concept album'. It is the story of one man's journey, from the one-horse town to big city and back.
