		By 1985, when Waits released 'Rain Dogs', he was a full-fledged weirdo, boasting trashy country rock (9), funky blues experiments (17 - later covered by Rod Stewart) and dream-/nightmare-like instrumental tunes (11, 18), as well as tender piano ballads (9, 19).
		'Rain Dogs' became an instant critic's favourite, and seems to be the biggest fan attractor of all his works.
		Rain Dogs remains a cornerstone in Waits's production, and as such, an astounding musical achievement.

	Rain Dogs - Music
		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.
		Rain Dogs is oh so groovy and it can hold it's own in any record collection.
		There are many reasons why "Rain Dogs" is so special; The variety of mood and tone, the vivid imagery, the balance of humor and pathos are among them.

	Tom Waits : Rain Dogs - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		But Rain Dogs is sprawling where its predecessor had been focused: Tom Waits' lyrics here sometimes are imaginative to the point of obscurity, seemingly chosen to fit the rhythms rather than for sense.
		Rain Dogs can't surprise as Swordfishtrombones had, and in his attempt to continue in the direction suggested by that album, Waits occasionally borders on the chaotic (which may only be to say that, like most of his records, this one is uneven).
		But much of the music matches the earlier album, and there is so much of it that that is enough to qualify Rain Dogs as one of Waits' better albums.

		It has also been seriously suggested that at this period the streets of British towns were so poorly constructed that many cats and dogs would drown whenever there was a storm; people seeing the corpses floating by would think they had fallen from the sky, like the proverbial rains of frogs.

	The Straight Dope: Is it possible to rain frogs, cats, dogs, etc.?
		This may lead you to think waterspouts or their inland cousins the whirlwinds are the source of the expression "raining cats and dogs." But there are many competing explanations.
		In Germanic mythology cats were associated with storms and rain, whereas dogs were attendants of Odin the storm god and were symbols of the winds.
		Ergo, raining cats and dogs means you have a lot of wind (the dogs' department) and rain (the cats' bailiwick).

	Rolling Stone : Tom Waits: Rain Dogs : Music Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		With Rain Dogs, he dropped his bedraggled lounge-piano act and fused outsider influences -- socialist decadence by way of Kurt Weill, pre-rock integrity from old dirty blues, the elegiac melancholy of New Orleans funeral brass -- into a singularly idiosyncratic American style.
		Rain Dogs offers a dangerous world, nasty for the tough sailors in "Singapore" ("Don't fall asleep while you're ashore"), infinitely sad for the hustlers of New York's "Union Square" and no fun at all in jail.
		The music is bony and menacingly beautiful, the desultory electric-guitar solo as cold as the rattle of marimbas in "Clap Hands." The evocative, elliptical rhymes describe scenes and characters with poetic precision but use atmosphere, not narrative, to connect them.

		Another way to look at it is that enough rain fell on the 1,600-square-mile valley to fill the new Las Vegas municipal swimming pool on Bonanza Road 50,000 times -- and that's a 560,000-gallon pool.
		Those figures are based on just an inch of rain falling on the valley -- and that would total about 28 billion gallons.
		At least 3 inches of rain fell unofficially on some parts of the valley.
