For me other than a few songs. Hugely overrated.

Although the last on Asylum "Blue Valentine" is excellent too. |

 Going to a Tom Waits event with Alex Harvey in a few weeks Alex who? Through his new book Song Noir, author Alex Harvey explores the formative first decade of Tom Waits’ career, when he lived, wrote and recorded nine albums in Los Angeles; from his soft, folk inflected debut, Closing Time to the abrasive, surreal Swordfishtrombones. Waits mined a rich seam of the city’s low-life locations and characters, letting the place feed his dark imagination. Mixing the domestic with the mythic, he turned quotidian, autobiographical details into something more disturbing and emblematic; a vision of la as the warped, narcotic heart of his nocturnal explorations. Using music, images and stories, Harvey will show how Waits absorbed LA’s wealth of cultural influences to combine the spoken idioms of writers like Kerouac and Bukowski with jazz-blues rhythms, and explored the city’s literary and film noir traditions to create hallucinatory dreamscapes.  |

I think the producer "Bones" Howe had a big influence on the classic 70's albums. Waits rather changed everything when he met Kathleen Brennan and she took over his career. Everyone who was part of the drinking years was pushed to one side.
