Album Quotes
-
I’m always looking for a title to communicate something about the overall flavor of an album. And I like the covers to be symbolic-the naive quality of arms for the buoyant sound of Trust, the saxophone as a spine for the grittier edge of Backbone, a moth being drawn toward the light for the sexy sound of Seduction.
Boney James

I'm into paradoxes. I wanted to make an album about them, but the group told me I was a pretentious fart. They were right.
Brian May
Queen

The first Garbage record sounds bizarre, it's not a pristine sounding album. We ran everything through stomp boxes and through samplers and that definitely gave it a vibe.
Butch Vig
Garbage

I have a studio at home where I record all of my solo material from the beginning 'til the very end, thus also the ideas which later on will find their way onto yet another Mike & The Mechanics album.
Mike Rutherford
Genesis

We started off making a full album with Brendan in his studio in Detroit and had nine or 10 songs done, then he got busy with his own record and we started talking to Jack and Meg about touring together. So we decided to do something for the road, and it turned out that the five completed songs made a kind of cool record, with this dreamier, darker mood than some of our other stuff.
James Patrick Keeler
The Afghan Whigs

Look. I was a superhero in the '90s. I said so at the time. McCartney, Weller, Townshend, Richards, my first album's better than all their first albums. Even they'd admit that.
Noel Gallagher
Oasis

Mark Stoermer
The Killers

A good one was the album Adrenalize title. I wanted to call the album Dementia. I like the idea of having a trilogy of albums ending with 'ia'. Phil thought it was cool but wondered if it was a little contrived, like we were running out of good ia-sounding words. Joe hated it with a passion. After two and a half hours of discussion, he was so pissed off that we were still talking about this one word that he just turned around and said, 'Well, as far as I'm concerned, you might as well call the album BOB!!
Rick Savage
Def Leppard
-
It's funny, when people talk about the 70s I can tell you the year of every album but when it comes to the later efforts I can't remember the exact years, it's funny isn't it?
Steve Hackett
Genesis

'Seven Turns' was a tough album because we knew that the critics would use it to determine whether or not we should have remained broken up.
Dickey Betts
