Album Quotes
-
One thing with Backstreet Boys, we never try to rush out an album. We always try to make quality music that can stand the test of time.
Howard Dwaine Dorough The Backstreet Boys -
Well, Led Zeppelin IV! That's it really. I'll tell you why the album had no title - because we were so fed up with the reactions to the third album, that people couldn't understand why that record wasn't a direct continuation of the second album. And then people said we were a hype and all, which was the furthest thing from what we were. So we just said, `let's put out an album with no title at all!' That way, either people like it or they don't... but we still got bad reviews!
Jimmy Page Led Zeppelin
-
I want to leave an album behind that is classic, that people in 50 years will refer to and pass on to their children. An album that you never bored of.
Adele -
Yeah exactly, so if anyone's bummed that The Mars Volta record's too simple or too pop, they can buy that album and it'll take them right back to that kind of sound. It's one of my favourite things I've ever worked on. It's pretty much a Mars Volta record, just without Thomas, Ikey, and Marcel. With Volta [Octahedron] was just our acoustic record that turned into our pop record.
Cedric Bixler-Zavala At the Drive-In -
I love the Bee Gees, but only the pre-disco stuff. From '64 to '69, I've got all their albums.
Noel Gallagher Oasis -
One of the things that's kind of persistent is that I am the model on the cover of Tom Waits' album, Small Change.
Cassandra Peterson -
Hearing the Evanescence album you can obviously tell that David and Ben have a real passion for that big kind of background and I have a big voice and I like the music to match it, so it was a real dream team, ... They're both so different from each other and so different from me, but I think the three of us getting together just created such great songs.
Kelly Clarkson -
I feel like it's not a bad average for every album I've got in the United States to be nominated for something off the album.
Estelle
-
I always loved writing songs - writing for myself and demo-ing songs, really with no intention of ever letting anyone else hear them. Finally the Foo Fighters stuff happened when I just went to the studio down the street from my house and recorded some stuff in about five or six days, and all these people wanted to release it as an album. I wanted to release it on my own, with no photos and no names on it.
Dave Grohl Nirvana -
I was always an album guy, not a greatest hits kind of guy, not so much a radio guy. I'm not saying one is better than the other but... It was like reading a novel but shorter than that. You go into a world for an hour and you absorb yourself into it rather than just passively listening and flipping through this and that.
Mark Stoermer The Killers -
My hope is with each album I learn a little bit more about the songwriting process and I learn how to be more conversational and honest in my writing. Hopefully, all those things come through on this new album.
Josh Wilson -
Such a wild feeling! Brand new live album called “Canvas and Clay” out now.
Pat Barrett -
When I was done with the movie [Ordinary World], I felt really compelled to start working on another album. Little did I know, they were going to come out back to back.
Billie Joe Armstrong Green Day -
I personally really like getting a proper album with artwork and everything.
Chris Martin Coldplay
-
If Miles Davis hadn't died it would have been interesting to do an album with him, but there wasn't much else that would have got me into the studio... although Herbie Hancock has just been in touch about doing something and that would be an interesting combination.
Phil Collins Genesis -
That's what's interesting: When you release an album, everyone hears it their own way.
Stromae -
The album didn't even make the upper reaches of the chart
Rodney Terence "Rod" Argent Argent -
I've always felt you are only as good as your next album or next show. What you've done is done. When you get a gold record, you hang it on the wall, and then it's like, 'Yeah, next?'
Joe Perry Aerosmith -
There's a song called 'All We'd Ever Need,' which is actually the first song that the three of us wrote together on our first album, and when we wrote that song I didn't have any real experience to pull from.
Hillary Scott Lady Antebellum -
I think the one that resonates the most with a lot of people is from The Scream album - 'Father, Mother, Son.'
John Corabi Mötley Crüe
-
We were all kind of freaked out recording the first album because we didn't know what it would be like.
Robby Krieger The Doors -
All the songs on the first album were like skeletons of how we really played them. It was just a combination of not having any studio experience and having to do everything so fast. I also think that studios are, by nature, limiting. You cannot get the sound of five big amplifiers on a little piece of tape.
Robby Krieger The Doors -
It's a learning process, like growing up. The third album is only the next step - who knows what will come next.
Fabrizio Moretti -
A lot of times, people have forgotten about an album by the time it's released, because it leaked three months earlier. Very strange days we live in.
Matt Smith Poison
