The album is divided into three sections, with each disc being a separate collection in its own. It borrows from Tom Waits’ typical rock sound, with the first disc being blues and rock-based, the second centred on slow-tempo, melancholic ballads, and the third on more experimental compositions. Additionally, the record contains influences of other genres, including folk, gospel, jazz and roots music. ''Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards'' received universal acclaim from critics, who lauded its experimentation and composition, as well as Waits' vocals. It was listed as one of the highest-scoring albums of the year in Metacritic, and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. Furthermore, it was a fair commercial success, charting in the United States ''Billboard'' 200, as well as in Australia, Switzerland and Austria, reaching the top twenty in the latter. The Orphans Tour was conducted in support of the album prior to its release. == Background == The set is a collection of 24 rare and 30 brand new songs.
