Reviews
"...Makes for an extravagant headphone experience if you're in the right frame of mind....It's brutal, nihilistic, dark and visceral...with moments of tender, almost unbearable loveliness...", Ranked #11 in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year", 7 out of 10 - "...From the fantastically sinister mock-tango instrumental...to the hilarious whiskey-bar soundtrack...this album has an edge and forward motion...", 4 out of 5 stars - "...A powerful and almost gleeful celebration of the horrors of the world...Wait's tunes and rhythms are at their jauntiest...", 8 out of 10 - "...BLOOD MONEY works perfectly....its biggest strength is in its lyrics, which are rich with symbolism...", 3.5 out of 5 stars - "...Waits' throat is...pure theater, a weapon of pictorial emphasis and raw honesty....BLOOD MONEY is especially grim, a bitter suite about greed and moral bankruptcy...", Ranked #18 in Mojo's "Best Albums of 2002in, "...It all sounds like familair Waits territory, but the earth here is scorched, the characters more distressed, the tone more funereal...", 7 Out of 10-"...A Cacophonous, Fearsome and Shadowy Delight...", "...A Subdued Lsd Hootenanny..."
