Album Quotes
-
That's the choice they allow you - now the outlet is being a pop star, which is really what I'm saying on the album in 'Working class hero'. As I told Rolling Stone, it's the same people who have the power, the class system didn't change one little bit.

It made my career. I mean I'd had a few charted songs before, but when Urban Cowboy came out, hell, I got my first gold record, my first gold album, got a triple platinum album, a platinum album... It catapulted my career to what it has been for the last 35 years.
-
The irony is that I don't think we took a step backwards to make 'Group Therapy'. I think we took a step forward because it's a lot more complicated to make that kind of album.

-
We didn't see a cover of ours (in advance) until our fourth album.
-
People don’t buy CDs a lot anymore, so I feel like the feeling is lost of looking forward to the next song when listening to a CD. I know that mini albums usually have about five songs and just four without the instrumental, but I wanted my album to be like a gift to people who buy it.
-
It feels really good but it doesn't really feel a whole lot different. The biggest difference is that you walk into a store and it's there but that could've been accomplished without Columbia. I just think that it's cool to have the opportunity and I'm proud of it. I think it's the best album I've done so far.

'In Utero' was the first time I'd made an album that reached into the dark side. I remember the conflict and the uncertainty. I remember all those things when I hear 'Pennyroyal Tea.'

The vocal parts are really interesting because it's the first album that we - as a band - haven't been aware of what Thom's singing about. He didn't talk about his lyrics.

God built the Earth in seven days and seven nights, that's how I'm going to approach doing the album. So when it's time for me to actually finish up the album and do final cuts of everything, I'm going to line it up in seven days and seven nights. I'm going to document it, out the footage out, show people it's not a fluke.

Dancing to the first album was more of a constant flow, the music was similarly paced, with much the same tempo all the way through the set. Myself and Keith tended to alternate on stage, and the performance was much more dance-based than theatrical. With the second album, Jilted, things got harder and the stage show became a lot more full-on. Each one of us had developed into identifiable personality on stage, and with that cam the theatrics, Keith in a strait-jacket, in the glass box, or the ball. Then we realised that we didn't need that, that we have a great live show without those dramatic extras. For example, Keith is now a compelling performer in his own right, he doesn't need the tricks.
-
