Title: Tom shall pass
Artiste: Aesop Waits
Genre: Mix I guess? Mashup? Whatever...
Track 1 (Hate) Nah don't like this. There's a vague Waitsy vibe but basically it's a rap track.
Track 2 (Hate) Same. Don't hear any Waits here.
Track 3 (Love) This is a little better; merges a proper Waits song “Underground” with his own stuff
Track 4 (Hate) No, don't like this at all. It doesn't help that he's chosen so many tracks off
Alice or
Blood Money, two of my least favourite and seldom listened to albums.
Track 5 (Hate) It's a bit hard to keep up with this as I have to use a YouTube and it's all one track of course, plus I don't recognise much of the Waits parts of the songs. But I'm pretty sure I hate this.
Track 6 (Hate) Don't get this one at all. Meh.
Track 7 (Hate) Hoping for much better from this one, as I know “Shore leave” well. This however I do not know. Terrible, and bears no resemblance to the Waits song that I can see. Ok I can hear bits of it but not enough to qualify this for me to like it.
Track 8 (Hate) No further comments would appear to be necessary
Track 9 (Hate)
Track 10 (Hate)
Track 11 (Hate)
Track 12 (Love) Okay, I actually like this one. A lot. Yeah, even the rapping. I like the way it melds with “Dirt in the ground”. Good job, for once.
Track 13 (Hate) Back to normal. Sigh.
Track 14 (Hate) Terrible. Just ... just terrible.
Track 15 (Hate) No, Just, just no.
End result: I really expected to like this so much more than I did. I could hear the bits of Waits songs here and there but overall it was just like listening to a hip-hop album, which has yet to be a pleasant experience for me. Very disappointed. Goofle, ya let me down man!
So, Love or Hate? Much as I hesitate to have the word connected with Waits, I'm afraid it's a very solid
Hate
