Like Holger complained about over here (in danish), the play order on the new Tom Waits triple is suboptimal. First ugly, then beautiful, then trashy/strange. What you want is that magical blend between trashy, ugly and beautiful that Waits uniquely knows how to do. Random play is an option, but I'm having good luck so far with playing the tracks by number, i.e. collating the three discs so the three track 1's go first, then the three track 2's and so on. Seems to achieve the desired magical effect.
