The five hundred and twentieth album: #520 Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones

The blues tracks that run through this album are the ones that suit Waits' voice perfectly, raw and rough as it tells songs that sound sad and rough. It's one that gets layered in with a far more experimental sound, sounding pretty good while it does to be honest. It's that weird sort of balance that sounds just right to listen to here that makes for a beautiful album - especially with how gently it ends.
