Album Quotes

My nails are my rhythm section, when I'm writing a song all alone. Some day, I may cut an album, just me and my nails. (Dolly Parton)
I see songs not as a commodity used up when the album goes off the charts, which is often the case with pop songs. I see them as a body of work. Life should be breathed into them. View quote
Sting (musician)
When I think about my new CD, the word 'joy' comes to mind. I sincerely hope that each listener will feel the earth, spirit, and aggressive creativity emanating from this album. View quote
George Duke
Whenever I release a record, it's my record. It's not a selfish thought. I may work all year 'round for other people. So, finally, when I come out with my own album, it should be me with the creative help of other musicians. View quote
Eberhard Weber
I still think the best metal bands have a blues feel. The first Black Sabbath album is kind of a bludgeoning of blues. Deep Purple also started out as a blues band. View quote
Greg Ginn
There are very few people who have done more than one Christmas album. View quote
Isaac Hanson
It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album. View quote
Marc Almond
I would be a liar if I said it wouldn't be lovely and soothing - that's the word - to have a hit single or a hit album. View quote
Mel Torme
I'm singing background on one of Blondie's songs on her new album. View quote
Melissa Joan Hart
I couldn't get my album played over the so-called smooth jazz stations. Jazz stations would not play it. You don't always know who you're making that soul connection with. View quote
Roy Ayers
I can see that if this was an album done 10 or 15 years ago we could see we were moving on to some place else. (Wayne Coyne)
I maintain that the best song is the one that ends up on the album. So whether I've written it or I haven't, I'm very comfortable with both. View quote
Kylie Minogue
I actually didn't want to have control of the writing on my first album. To write, you have to have time to connect with yourself. I don't have that time right now, because I'm so busy. View quote
Hilary Duff
In a musical sense, it seemed like all the good intentions had gone awry, very quickly. I mean, we got back from America and Blur had made The Great Escape, which I thought was a really, truly awful album - so cheesy, like a parody of Parklife, but without the balls or the intellect. And Oasis were enormous and I always found them incredibly dreary. There was this uncritical reverence surrounding the whole thing. View quote
Justine Frischmann
You've got a new Spanish-language album out now ["90 Millas," released in September of 2007], and the single ["No Llores"] is #1 on the Billboard Latin chart. View quote
Gloria Estefan
It is so important for me to keep authentic Cuban sounds alive. All of these great artists have changed the landscape of Latin music and it's an honor to have them on this album ["90 Millas," released in September of 2007]. I believe this album will expose a new generation to the richness of Cuban music. View quote
Gloria Estefan
I received an award for 25 million in [album] sales the night before the bus accident [in 1990]. View quote
Gloria Estefan
Actually, I was having dinner with Michael [Stipe, of R.E.M.] when our second album went platinum, which up until that point was the highest success we'd ever had. And he turned to me during dinner and said, 'Welcome to the deep waters, kid.' I'll never forget that. View quote
Billy Corgan
About six months ago, I listened to Siamese Dream. That was the first time I'd ever really heard my own album, because I had separated from the experience of making the record. And it really moved me. It made me cry, it's so beautiful. View quote
Billy Corgan
Nine times out of 10 when people do a tribute album or tribute songs for somebody, it's what I call 'white boys playing reggae'. They know they can't, we know they can't, so they sing like they can't and play like they can't. They gently make fun of the idiom or sing in a false accent. View quote
David Lee Roth
there is time to play...and then there are times to work hard and get my fans an album. (Justin Bieber)
If your album sells, that's cool, more people find out about you, more people get turned on to what we're really about-which is a live rock and roll band. View quote
Nikki Sixx
My first album is like a terrible John Hammond album, with drums. View quote
Warren Zevon
You know, I was such a big Beatles fan, and when I'd buy a new album I'd invariably hate it the first time I heard it 'cause it was a mixture of absolute joy and absolute frustration. I couldn't grasp what they'd done, and I'd hate myself for that. View quote
Andy Partridge
I feel like there's a lot of beauty in the darkness of Narrow Stairs, but that's not really a place I'm ready to go to for a while. I'm interested in taking a different approach and having the next record be different in tone - I'm just not interested in making another dark, dark album. View quote
