Album Quotes
-
I personally really like getting a proper album with artwork and everything.
-
I write songs; I record them. When I get enough, and it seems like a coherent piece, I call it an album.
-
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.

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.
-
This is positively not an album to play while you do a doctorate thesis on "Bergson, Webern and Charles the Vicious, Paradox or Ambiguity?"

When I wrote the first album I had never played live before, and I'd never been on tour. So that was really just me and my guitar.

The main thing with my shows is that I'm professional but not highly polished. I don't like people to think they're just seeing an album in person.
-
When we were making the record, I just decided, at the last second. I thought, "This song ["Ordinary World"] makes a lot of sense, being on the album [Revolution Radio]."
-
Actually, that was the whole concept for the album cover, we were gonna have a scratch & sniff feces album cover to draw your own flies. It was gonna be called 'Draw Your Flies.'
-
We'll go in one direction with one album, and then we like to do the opposite right away. But it's not like we ever have an idea before we start - that would be too artificial. It all starts from just sitting in a room and playing.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

We were just starting to write new songs two weeks after he died. We were still grieving. So that was naturally a big subject matter for the album.

There seems to be something pure in pulling from a place in time that's "innocent" and untouched by outward opinion. I wanted this album to have threads of my past to enrich the topics I wanted to address about aging.
-
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.
-
Typically, every 14 to 16 months, we're putting a new album out. To be honest, I wish it was slower.
-
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.
-
'Wages Of Sin' was the first metal album I ever bought, and it was love at first listen.
