Editorial Reviews

Rolling Stone (5/23/02, p.78) - 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..." Spin (6/02, p.109) - 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..." Q (May 2002, p.114) - 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..." Uncut (1/03, p.94) - Ranked #11 in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year" Alternative Press (7/02, p.96) - 8 out of 10 - "...BLOOD MONEY works perfectly....[its] biggest strength is in its lyrics, which are rich with symbolism..." Magnet (6-7/02, p.111) - "...It all sounds like familair Waits territory, but the earth here is scorched, the characters more distressed, the tone more funereal..." CMJ (5/20/02, p.6) - "...A subdued LSD hootenanny..." Mojo (Publisher) (1/03, p.74) - Ranked #18 in Mojo's "Best Albums of 2002" Mojo (Publisher) (5/02, p.94) - "...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..." NME (Magazine) (5/18/02, p.35) - 7 out of 10 - "...A cacophonous, fearsome and shadowy delight..."
