Albums Quotes

I guess, - a greater number of the 26 or so albums that I’ve made are known in Europe than they are in America Picture Quote #1

Everybody is looking for a hit single but what the artists really need is an executive producer to help put better albums out Picture Quote #1

Albums aren’t even selling anymore and there’s a reason for that. Record companies are just signing single and ring tone deals and it doesn’t seem like they’re focusing on albums Picture Quote #1

You just want to go back to those 70s albums. Even a lot of the 90s indie records were still done on tape, and you hear the difference Picture Quote #1

What excites me is the idea of doing a record that’s pretty clean and focused on songs. I’ve rushed a lot with previous albums and there’s not a rush now - it’s not a race Picture Quote #1

I want to make albums that are like a Murakami novel or a Terrence Malick film - something that explicitly states its own world Picture Quote #1

After putting out quite a few albums, there’s a feeling of why make another? I was trying to make something that was an album experience Picture Quote #1

I’ve always said I write albums; I don’t write random songs and then sort them out Picture Quote #1

A lot of people don’t listen to the albums. They just listen to the singles Picture Quote #1

I think right now a lot of albums that are out there, they sound like mixtapes Picture Quote #1

We were nominated [for Grammy] once before for our album 1916. We were up against Metallica at the time and they had just sold a quarter of a zillion albums Picture Quote #1

On every album I’ve put out, I’ve put diverse Canadian songs on it. They’re not provincial album; my albums are national albums. There’ll be a song about Saskatchewan and Vancouver and Nova Scotia on there Picture Quote #1

Rock n Roll Animal, the live album, is one of the greatest live albums out there. It was a huge influence on me Picture Quote #1

It’s a double-headed coin, because technology is a convenience but it’s stifled our attention spans. At one time, albums had songs that were like ten minutes long, with different variations and chord progressions and changes Picture Quote #1

I’ve done so many albums where I’ve been in the studio for 14 hours a day for six months just trying to come up with things on my own. It’s a nice change helping other people with their music and not being all about what I’m trying to do myself Picture Quote #1

I’m very proud of all the bluegrass-oriented albums. It just reminded me and my fans that I should always record acoustic music and country records, along with anything else that I might want to do Picture Quote #1

The Who is one of my favorite bands of all time. ‘The Who Sell Out’ is one of the greatest art-project albums of all time Picture Quote #1

Habits and Contradictions’ is the prequel to ‘Setbacks.’ I had all these titles already in my head before I even dropped ‘em. Like ‘Setbacks,’ I knew that was gone be the first one; I knew ‘Habits and Contradictions.’ I knew ‘Oxymoron.’ I got two more albums that I already have the title to it, and I know how I’ma play the theme off of it Picture Quote #1

We are a business, and you do a little of what you think’s right, pay your bills, and attract... a single record attracts attention to your concerts and your albums Picture Quote #1

Go Back Home’ encompasses not only actual geographic location but also, for me, back home in the worlds of music and theatre, and back home in terms of making albums again. There are lots of meanings to that Picture Quote #1

You can hear some artists, hear five of their albums and still have no idea who they are. But if you’ve heard most of what I’ve recorded, you know me. You go from ‘Honesty’ to ‘Going Through Hell’ - you can listen to the hits, and they pretty much reflect who I am. ‘Take a Back Road’ is the same thing Picture Quote #1

I played a lot of acetates at the end of my vinyl period - I used to make tracks and get them pressed in four or five days - but the quality was always so bad and they would skip all the time. The vinyl days for me are over. I still buy vinyl, but only albums, and just to play. For DJing, vinyl is a nightmare Picture Quote #1

Seeing Jennifer Holliday from ‘Dreamgirls’ perform on the Tony Awards telecast and later discovering Barbra Streisand by listening to her albums at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh really changed everything for me Picture Quote #1

The Beach Boys already had about four or five albums under our belt when these newcomers, The Beatles, took the U.S. by storm in early 1964 Picture Quote #1

I don’t do something because I think it will sell 30 million albums. I couldn’t care less. If it sells one, it sells one Picture Quote #1

Steven, my friend who came out to me my senior year, was a huge Madonna fan. So I may know all the words to ‘Bedtime Stories,’ ‘Erotica,’ and a few more of her albums - and we may have watched ‘Truth or Dare’ a thousand times Picture Quote #1

There’s 40 or 50 songs that nobody’s heard that I’ve done in between albums. There’s a whole evolution from Midnite Vultures to Sea Change that’s never been released Picture Quote #1

I have long begged off the question of my albums reflecting where I am ‘at’ personally. There is more inaccuracy in that approach than accuracy Picture Quote #1

I feel like I’m only in the beginning of my career. I’ve only made five albums. It’s not a lot Picture Quote #1
