The songs are first-rate, and there are a lot of them--19 in all, ranging from grim nightlife memoirs ("9th and Hennepin," "Singapore") to portraits of small-time hustlers ("Gun Street Girl," "Union Square") to bursts of street-corner philosophy ("Blind Love," "Time"). The album also contains the original version of "Downtown Train," which Rod Stewart turned into a smash hit. The image of "rain dogs"--animals who've lost their way home because the rain has washed away their scent--is an appropriate symbol for the entire cast of characters Waits has brought to life over the years, and this album has thus far proved to be his most enduring effort. --Daniel Durchholz

这张专辑里面我最喜欢的四首歌曲是 Bride of Raindogs,Anywhere I Lay My Head,Hand Down Your Head,Diamond and Gold,尤其喜欢专辑里面各种新奇荒诞的声音与乐器演奏,(Tom Waits在录制这种专辑的时候使用了一台磁带录音机记录下了纽约街头的各种奇异声音与环境"杂音")。 ...

亲爱的陳雨貓同学,对未来,其实没什么可恐惧的,过去的事情说明不了什么,现在才是你要把握的。试试多听听Tom Waits的歌,多吃蔬菜和水果,2013年,会出现转机的。【嗷Rain Cats的话就完美了= =

虽然不能说无聊,而且像Hang Down Your Head、Time这样的歌也说明Tom Waits其实也可以写得不仅有意思而且很抓耳,不过英美乐媒是不是对带blues的东西有什么先入为主的偏好……

很出乎我意料的一张,本来以为是比较沉甸甸的民谣,但没想到汤姆威茨用他粗粝的嗓音唱出了很多欢快的小调,别有一番风味。cut:Clap Hands、Hang Down Your Head、Rain Dogs、Downtown Train
