It was recorded in the cellar of a music studio in a place that was according to WordOfGod, "just a cement floor and a hot water heater," because he liked the echo there. It was his first studio album since ''Music/FranksWildYears'' (1987) and notable for the tracks "Earth Died Screaming", "Goin' Out West" and "I Don't Wanna Grow Up".

[[caption-width-right:350: ''Such A Scream'']]
'''Bone Machine''' is a 1992 album by Music/TomWaits where he took a DarkerAndEdgier turn with his musical style. It was his first studio album since ''Music/FranksWildYears'' (1987) and notable for the tracks "Earth Died Screaming", "Goin' Out West" and "I Don't Wanna Grow Up".
Not to be confused with Music/ThePixies' song of [[NamesTheSame the same name]], which can be found on ''Music/SurferRosa'' (1988)

!! And The Earth Died Screaming (while I laid troping about you):
* AdmiringTheAbomination: "Black Wings"
--> ''Some say they fear him, some say they admire him''.
* AfterTheEnd: "The Earth Died Screaming".
* AllAreEqualInDeath: "Dirt In The Ground"
--> ''Ask a king or a beggar''
--> ''and the answer they'll give''
--> ''is we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground''
* AsTheGoodBookSays: "Down In The Ground" references the story of Kain and Abel. "Who Are You?" asks the question: "How do your pistol and your Bible and your sleeping pills go?". In "Murder In The Red Barn" he sings "Now thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house/ Or covet thy neighbor's wife" and in "Black Wings" he sings "take an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, just like the Bible says". "Jesus Gonna Be Here" speaks for itself and then there is "That Feel":
--> ''Well you say that it's gospel''
--> ''But I know that it's only church''
* BadassBoast: "Goin' Out West" is all about his character boasting about his looks and how badass he is, specifically saying he knows karate and voodoo and can handle himself in a high speed chase. He's got the scars and chest hair to prove it.
* CarefulWithThatAxe: "Such A Scream".
* ComeToGawk: "In the Colosseum".
* CallBack and ContinuityNod: A fifteen year old girl who "never saw the ocean" is described in "A Little Rain", which ties in with "The Ocean Doesn't Want Me Today".
* CountingToThree: Waits does this in "Such A Scream".
* DarkerAndEdgier: The music has far darker themes and musical arrangements than Waits' previous output.
* DesignStudentsOrgasm: The album cover was shot by Jesse Dylan, son of Music/BobDylan.
* GodIsLoveSongs: "Jesus Gonna Be Here".
* GrotesqueGallery: "Goin' Out West"
--> ''My friends think I'm ugly / I've got a masculine face''.
* GriefSong: "The Earth Died Screaming", "Down In The Ground".
* GrowingUpSucks: "I Don't Wanna Grow Up".
* HellIsThatNoise: Some of the sounds on this album can make listeners wonder and range from unusual instruments to odd machines and random objects.
* InHarmonyWithNature: "The Ocean Doesn't Want Me Today".
* {{Instrumental}}: "Let Me Get Up On It".
* InterruptedSuicide: "The Ocean Doesn't Want Me Today", where a man ponders over walking into the ocean and disappear in it. But he decides the ocean doesn't want him that day and waits.
* IWillWaitForYou: "Jesus Gonna Be Here", "The Ocean Doesn't Want Me Today".
* MurderBallad: "Murder In The Red Barn"
* NewSoundAlbum: The themes were far darker than Waits' previous album with songs about death ("Dirt In The Ground"), murder ("Murder In The Red Barn"), arena fights ("In the Colosseum"),... Musically everything sounds more minimalistic and percussion driven.
* NightmareFace: Waits on the album cover.
* NightSwimEqualsDeath: "The Ocean Doesn't Want Me Today"
* NonAppearingTitle: "Bone Machine" is never referenced in any of the song's lyrics, but it's likely a reference to the human body, making the song "All Stripped Down" a close call.
* ShoutOut:
** Near the end of "Earth Died Screaming" the ''Funeral March'' from Music/FryderykChopin is quoted.
** "Earth Died Screaming" appeared in ''Film/TwelveMonkeys''.
** "Goin' Out West" was used in ''Film/FightClub''.
** Music/TheRamones covered "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" on their final studio album ''Adios Amigos''.
* SignsOfTheEndTimes: "Earth Died Screaming" deals with this.
* AStormIsComing: "Earth Died Screaming"
* SpecialGuest: Les Claypool from Music/{{Primus}} plays electric bass on "Earth Died Screaming", drummer Bryan "Brain" Mantia drums on "All Stripped Down" and "In the Colosseum", David Hidalgo from Music/LosLobos plays violin and accordion on "Whistle Down The Wind", Music/KeithRichards duets along with Waits on "That Feel".
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: "Murder In The Red Barn"
--> ''And there's nothing strange about an axe with blood stains''
--> ''There's always some killing you got to do around the barn''
* UnusualEuphemism: "Bone Machine" for the human body. As Tom Waits himself explained in the press kit for his album:

''''
!! And The Earth Died Screaming (while I laid troping about you):
* AdmiringTheAbomination: "Black Wings"
--> ''Some say they fear him, some say they admire him''.
* AfterTheEnd: "The Earth Died Screaming".
* AllAreEqualInDeath: "Dirt In The Ground"
--> ''Ask a king or a beggar''
--> ''and the answer they'll give''
--> ''is we're all gonna be just dirt in the ground''
* AsTheGoodBookSays: "Down In The Ground" references the story of Kain and Abel. "Who Are You?" asks the question: "How do your pistol and your Bible and your sleeping pills go?". In "Murder In The Red Barn" he sings "Now thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house/ Or covet thy neighbor's wife" and in "Black Wings" he sings "take an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, just like the Bible says". "Jesus Gonna Be Here" speaks for itself and then there is "That Feel":
--> ''Well you say that it's gospel''
--> ''But I know that it's only church''
* BadassBoast: "Goin' Out West" is all about his character boasting about his looks and how badass he is, specifically saying he knows karate and voodoo and can handle himself in a high speed chase. He's got the scars and chest hair to prove it.
* CarefulWithThatAxe: "Such A Scream".
* ComeToGawk: "In the Colosseum".
* CallBack and ContinuityNod: A fifteen year old girl who "never saw the ocean" is described in "A Little Rain", which ties in with "The Ocean Doesn't Want Me Today".
* CountingToThree: Waits does this in "Such A Scream".
* DarkerAndEdgier: The music has far darker themes and musical arrangements than Waits' previous output.
* DesignStudentsOrgasm: The album cover was shot by Jesse Dylan, son of Music/BobDylan.
* GodIsLoveSongs: "Jesus Gonna Be Here".
* GrotesqueGallery: "Goin' Out West"
--> ''My friends think I'm ugly / I've got a masculine face''.
* GriefSong: "The Earth Died Screaming", "Down In The Ground".
* GrowingUpSucks: "I Don't Wanna Grow Up".
* HellIsThatNoise: Some of the sounds on this album can make listeners wonder and range from unusual instruments to odd machines and random objects.
* InHarmonyWithNature: "The Ocean Doesn't Want Me Today".
* {{Instrumental}}: "Let Me Get Up On It".
* InterruptedSuicide: "The Ocean Doesn't Want Me Today", where a man ponders over walking into the ocean and disappear in it. But he decides the ocean doesn't want him that day and waits.
* IWillWaitForYou: "Jesus Gonna Be Here", "The Ocean Doesn't Want Me Today".
* MurderBallad: "Murder In The Red Barn"
* NewSoundAlbum: The themes were far darker than Waits' previous album with songs about death ("Dirt In The Ground"), murder ("Murder In The Red Barn"), arena fights ("In the Colosseum"),... Musically everything sounds more minimalistic and percussion driven.
* NightmareFace: Waits on the album cover.
* NightSwimEqualsDeath: "The Ocean Doesn't Want Me Today"
* NonAppearingTitle: "Bone Machine" is never referenced in any of the song's lyrics, but it's likely a reference to the human body, making the song "All Stripped Down" a close call.
* ShoutOut:
** Near the end of "Earth Died Screaming" the ''Funeral March'' from Music/FryderykChopin is quoted.
** "Earth Died Screaming" appeared in ''Film/TwelveMonkeys''.
** "Goin' Out West" was used in ''Film/FightClub''.
** Music/TheRamones covered "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" on their final studio album ''Adios Amigos''.
* SignsOfTheEndTimes: "Earth Died Screaming" deals with this.
* AStormIsComing: "Earth Died Screaming"
* SpecialGuest: Les Claypool from Music/{{Primus}} plays electric bass on "Earth Died Screaming", drummer Bryan "Brain" Mantia drums on "All Stripped Down" and "In the Colosseum", David Hidalgo from Music/LosLobos plays violin and accordion on "Whistle Down The Wind", Music/KeithRichards duets along with Waits on "That Feel".
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: "Murder In The Red Barn"
--> ''And there's nothing strange about an axe with blood stains''
--> ''There's always some killing you got to do around the barn''
* UnusualEuphemism: "Bone Machine" for the human body. As Tom Waits himself explained in the press kit for his album:
--> ''What's a bone machine? Most of the principles of most machines developed in the machine age were principles that were found in the human body. Originally, I was going to take sounds of machines I'd recorded, and add a really strong rhythmic sense; I was going to try to build songs out of the rhythms. But then it didn't really develop that way. The stories kind of took over. So it's more bone than machine. Bone Machine... We're all like bone machines, I guess. We break down eventually, and we're replaced by other models. Newer models. Younger models. Bone Machine... Sounds like a superhero, doesn't it?''
