 Tom Waits : Rain Dogs - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Rain Dogs can't surprise as Swordfishtrombones had, and in his attempt to continue in the direction suggested by that album, Waits occasionally borders on the chaotic (which may only be to say that, like most of his records, this one is uneven).
But much of the music matches the earlier album, and there is so much of it that that is enough to qualify Rain Dogs as one of Waits' better albums.
With its jarring rhythms and unusual instrumentation -- marimba, accordion, various percussion -- as well as its frequently surreal lyrics, Rain Dogs is very much a follow-up to Swordfishtrombones, which is to say that it sounds for the most part like +The Threepenny Opera being sung by Howlin' Wolf.

 tom waits - review by aron
Rain Dogs remains a cornerstone in Waits's production, and as such, an astounding musical achievement.
By 1985, when Waits released 'Rain Dogs', he was a full-fledged weirdo, boasting trashy country rock (9), funky blues experiments (17 - later covered by Rod Stewart) and dream-/nightmare-like instrumental tunes (11, 18), as well as tender piano ballads (9, 19).
As the song titles imply; tango and polka is also covered to some extent.

 Marc Ribot on Tom Waits - Mojo Interview - April 1999
I worked on Rain Dogs, Frank's Wild Years and the live album Big Time.
So he was really driving himself very hard, putting a lot of pressure on himself - productive pressure that went into perfecting the music.
I did some overdubbing on his new record - although with Tom it's always best not to announce that you've played on something until after it's released because you truly never know!

 Rolling Stone : Tom Waits: Rain Dogs : Music Reviews
So perhaps unsurprisingly, it took him nine albums to find a college audience (with 1983's Swordfishtrombones) and ten albums to find some real musical clarity.
Rolling Stone : Tom Waits: Rain Dogs : Music Reviews
The music is bony and menacingly beautiful, the desultory electric-guitar solo as cold as the rattle of marimbas in "Clap Hands." The evocative, elliptical rhymes describe scenes and characters with poetic precision but use atmosphere, not narrative, to connect them.

"In Rain Dogs, plot is subordinated to character (wonder of wonders in genre fiction!) and, even more amazing, emotional depth is given center stage over cheap, superficial narrative pyrotechnics.
Rain Dogs will satisfy fans of hard-boiled fiction and classic noir, as well as any crime fans who don't like their plots tied up too tidily."

In his 1652 play, The City Wit, Richard Brome wrote: "It shall rain dogs and polecats." A polecat is closer to a ferret than a cat, but you can see how the word might have lost a syllable.

 Las Vegas SUN: Cats and dogs? Thursday's rain hit Southern Nevada in pools
That's enough to give every man, woman and child in the valley a filled swimming pool -- and still have about 100,000 swimming pools left over.
Only about one-eighth of the amount of rain that fell on Las Vegas Thursday went into the Las Vegas Wash, according to Southern Nevada Water Authority Manager David Donnelly.
Those figures are based on just an inch of rain falling on the valley -- and that would total about 28 billion gallons.
