Album Quotes - page 15

I'm not a slave to the recording industry. I have the freedom to make an album that I want to make and do it the way I want. (Ziggy Marley)
The success of Torn was a bit too much for me. I took a year off and was still scared to start the second album. View quote
Natalie Imbruglia
The title [of an album with prints of Israels and poems after his pictures, made by Nicolaas Beets ] will not be I hope 'Kroost der zee' ['Offspring of the Sea']. I think this is an insufferable dissonance. Call it 'Sketches from Fisher's life - of B to J.' I think that is the best, the simplest and the most attractive name. Also the word 'to' gives me justice, otherwise people will think that I made them [his pictures] after Beets and not Beets [his poems] after me. View quote
Jozef Israëls
When I was younger, I'd buy a vinyl album, take it home and live with it, and I think that attachment's largely gone for the file-sharing generation. View quote
Anton Corbijn
I have a solo deal with Columbia Records. So it's about, do I want to release an album, when can we do it, what kind of album should it be, how should it be released and marketed and what's the right timing? Do I have time to do it? It's all about questions. View quote
Cory Monteith
That's something that I regret – that I allowed them to browbeat me into doing an album every year. Because when I took time out to have children I got behind in my albums. One year I had to do three in a row. The same year! Just to keep up with my contract with them. What a pile of bullshit that is. View quote
Anne Murray
That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. You can do a very eclectic group of songs. You do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. You have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs. View quote
Reba McEntire
[his answer to 'do you have a twin sister?] He's quite influential, that Rodger. He's done a couple of songs on the new album. He's off fishing today. View quote
Zayn Malik
If people stop being interested it's because you haven't written a good enough album. Music will always be the most powerful thing. It doesn't matter what record labels or journalists say. It's the song. View quote
Tom Odell
Billboard called my solo album, 'Standing In The Spotlight,' a great party album and even said that my raps put the Beastie Boys to shame. View quote
Dee Dee Ramone
Van Morrison is probably, at this point in time, my biggest influence as a vocalist. When we were making our last album I had a vinyl copy of 'Veedon Fleece' in the vocal booth in front of me, in the dorky sense. I think there were candles around, which is really tacky, but hey, I needed to channel Van the Man! (Nate Ruess)
I didn't ever want to make a rap album. I considered it too limiting. Now that's exactly what I've gone and done. View quote
Saul Williams
I'm getting paid 10p per copy of every album I'm selling and they're (EMI) selling it for 15 quid. That's outrageous but it's quite typical. View quote
Steve Hogarth
I wanted out of my record deal with EMI. They wanted me to record one type of album; I wanted to record the type of music I wanted to make. View quote
Joss Stone
I made my new album 'Colour Me Free!' in a week with my own money. View quote
Joss Stone
I am more interested in how people interpret the phrase 'Elect The Dead' than what I may or may not have intended. I named the album after the track, which is a spiritual song about love, life and death and is the heaviest song on the album without having any heavy instruments. View quote
Serj Tankian
I didn't want to become a personality, I wanted to be a musician, but because I didn't have an album to stand by yet it was hard for people to see that. But now, two albums in, I'm happy with things. View quote
Florence Welch
The first album, for better or for worse, was done over from the ages of 17-22, with a couple of different producers. Some of it was recorded in an old swimming pool, some of it was recorded in a synagogue - it kind of was all over the place. View quote
Florence Welch
I got to live out my 11-year-old fantasies - I got to go on stage with Green Day. Billie Joe called my name from the stage. 'Dookie' was the first album I ever bought. I covered the whole of 'Nimrod' and he'd heard it. That was like the 11-year-old girl dreamed. View quote
Florence Welch
I'm really careful with what the music gets put with, and we say no to so much stuff, loads of it, for things that might quadruple the sales of my album. But if it doesn't fit then it doesn't fit, you know? View quote
Florence Welch
When I first started, especially because I got the Critics' Choice before I'd released an album, there was a lot of scrutiny on what my character was, what my background was, what colour my hair was. I fought quite hard for the music to overtake the personality aspect. (Florence Welch)
I grew up the biggest fan of the Cure. Knew every lyric, had every album, B-side, single, poster, everything. Then cut to fifteen years later, and we're working on songs together. Ridiculous. View quote
Mark Hoppus
I want to sell out arenas and make an album and work with some of the best artists in the world. View quote
Niall Horan
Everyone gets that second album syndrome. View quote
Niall Horan
There's always pressure on the second album - this one has to be the big one. View quote
