Album Quotes
-
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

Every album is difficult. If it was easy, we'd make one a month.
David Howell Evans
U2

I think music is a very personal thing and it doesn't necessarily have to be experienced one way or another, but the album experience is a completely different thing than the single experience.

When doing the mix, there's five different pairs of ears. We all hear it differently. We said we'll be mixing this album for the next three years if we don't let someone take charge. We let Mutt mix it.
Steve Clark
Def Leppard
-
'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
-
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
-
At sixteen I was like: "I need to get an album out now!" - even though I was only sixteen. I was always in a little bit of a rush to be an adult.

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
-
The BBC were not playing the music that was happening on the street so we did an independent production because we knew we had an audience. Then we licensed the album to EMI.
Georgie Fame
-
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
-
The show gave us the taste of working together again, and we decided to record an album. So we started writing and it slowly came together over the years.

Wang Chung

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.
