 Tom Waits: Real Gone: Pitchfork Record Review

With the first song, "Top of the Hill" starting with a stutter and a slap, Real Gone is not an easy return to form by any means.

 Tom Waits 'Real Gone' reviewed on Official website of writer Laura Hird
‘Real Gone’ is built from sounds that seem to originate from before the dawn of music — or beyond its extinction.
The clack of wooden slats, stress metal clang, chain gang call and response, field hollers and boot camp chants, these are a few of his favourite things.
Here he has re-envisioned those phantasms in a piece called ‘Hoist That Rag’, conjuring opium dreams of high seas terrorists boarding Bosch’s ship of the foolish and the mad, visions of frigging in the rigging, rotting cadavers hanging from the mast, mutineers hauled by ropes under the barnacled hull.

 * Dusted Reviews - Tom Waits *
There’s only one real ballad on Real Gone, “The Day After Tomorrow,” a protest song that’s moving and pertinent but almost awkwardly so in the context of the album.
Much of Real Gone has been stripped so bare instrumentally that its heavy accumulation of rhythmic noise — manipulated groans and grunts (“Metropolitan Glide”) what sounds like a cracking horsewhip (“Don’t Go Into The Barn”) — establishes a sustained, bristling mood that electrifies particular songs but bogs down the album as a whole.
But Real Gone falls victim to one of the problems plaguing his 1999 record Mule Variations — the more downbeat tracks don’t ever justify their excessive lengths.

 Paste Magazine :: Review :: Tom Waits - Real Gone :: ANTI- (Page 1)
Real Gone, his first batch of material written specifically for an album since the uneven Mule Variations (Alice and Blood Money were composed for theater productions staged by Robert Wilson), signals his most dramatic shift in sound since the '80s.
But don’t take the minimal turn as a sign of mellowing; much of Real Gone is loud, rude and in your face, with Waits prodding his ragged croak to new extremes.
The remainder of Real Gone consists mostly of solid mid-tempo ballads, and only once, on “Day After Tomorrow” (the painfully lovely closer about a soldier stationed in the Middle East), does Waits indulge his sweet and sentimental side.
