As Quik explains

At least the five-year wait was worthwhile: Blue Rev doesn’t simply reassert what’s always been great about Alvvays but instead reimagines it

Tom Waits - Bad As Me Artist_IKE As Quik explainsTom Waits' 17th studio album encapsulates his myriad styles with help from twin soul Keith Richards, On the title track over clattering drums and blues guitar, Waits delivers lines such as "they told me you were no good" with unnerving effect. There's also something deeply sinister about the chorus of "you're the same kind of bad as me", creating an almost suffocating atmosphere. It's an album full of compassion, anger and sorrow.
