Decide which CD I should buy, please (Tom Waits or Stina Nordenstam)

I just realised I had a bit more money than I thought I did; I'm going to right that situation by spending it on CDs. I've ordered the Estelle and Annie albums, and want to get one more. Right now, it's between the new Tom Waits and the new Stina Nordenstam works (though if anyone wants to persuade me of the merits of the new Thalia Zedek one I'll be listening) - help me decide which is more worthy of my cash money! Kind of TS: Real Gone or The World Is Saved.

I'm off home now, cheers in advance everyone.

Real Gone, though the Stina is good too.

why?

Better overall record, more satisfying, more layered. You will need the Stina more as winter approaches...

Stina. It is in my top 5 albums of the year at the moment.

adam you told me that the stina record revitalized your faith in recorded music or something!

I would say the stina.

I remember what I said and it wasn't that.

the stina album is great.

Of the Stina I've only heard "Get On With Your Life" but it's fabulous, possibly better than anything on This Is Stina Nordenstam.

i love real gone. i say get that one.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 October 2004 08:20 (twenty-one years ago)

i need to hear the stina. the waits is fucking great.

― bulbs (bulbs), Friday, 22 October 2004 08:24 (twenty-one years ago)

That's kind of a draw, though Stina was steaming ahead earlier. Hmm. Which has the prettier packaging? Knowing Tom and Stina, that's probably both of them.

Cheers for everything so far, keep 'em coming...

the waits is fucking great, i need to hear the stina.

― Pete W (peterw), Friday, 22 October 2004 09:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Lex, go for Stina.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 22 October 2004 09:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Thalia Zedek's is really great, fwiw. I thought I'd quickly shelve it along all those kinda boring alt-country stuff, but it's much rawer than that and has some occasional beautiful noize.

yeah I really enjoyed Been Here And Gone by Thalia - my only concern with this new insanely-titled work is that it might just be more of the same.

I should point out that I'm likely to acquire all three albums at some point, one way or another.

here is "Parliament square" from the new Stina album:

Jay Kid is OTM

― Avi (Avi), Friday, 22 October 2004 13:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm going to order in 2 1/2 hours time - can't listen to the mp3 as am at work and no internet at home (otherwise I probably would've just downloaded all of them). I think it'll be Stina, really. I can't find Thalia for as cheap as her or Tom.

You can stream the entire Stina record as well as see the video for "Get On With Your Life" over here:

It's the thread that had to be made.
