I did a lot singing for one album for Crosby, Stills & Nash, and at the time, they didn't want anyone to know it wasn't Crosby.

The band likes to be different which each album, so that the listener is taken on a fascinating, but different journey each time.

I'm experimenting. That was part of the reason why I named the album 'Stay Dangerous.' It was about being proactive, not reactive.

When you're making an album, it's, like, exciting every night you make something new, but you're the only one who gets to hear it.

When I was young, a gatefold album by 'Pink Floyd' or 'Led Zeppelin' was something to get excited about, something you longed for.

Lately, I've been listening to some jazz albums. I love the new Pat Metheny album. John Coltrane. I still like good metal, though!

You know, 'Paid in Full' is a classic album, man. It kind of got me to where I am now, so I can never get tired of 'Paid in Full.'

A development deal is where they're giving you recording time and money to record, but not promising that they'll put an album out.

Heath Ledger was supposed to put our album on what would have been a new record label. I still feel a little dead after losing him.

Mind Playing Tricks on Me' or 'Mind of a Lunatic' were great songs. As far as my favorite Geto Boys album? None of them impress me.

I can work my butt off and create an album that's wonderful, but if it's never played and never given the outlet, it won't succeed.

To record an album is cathartic, or at least it was with 'Belus,' but to make music is more fulfilling than anything else, I think.

I picked and co-wrote the songs that if I was a guy who would be spending my hard-earned money buying an album I would want to hear.

To do the Ozzfest again would be great. I'd like to finish with a final Sabbath album. You always feel that it is still a challenge.

When you work on an album for three and a half years, you're kind of ready for it to get out there. To have your songs reach people.

Issues deals with the issues I had, the fears I had and it isn't a 'nice' album but fears and depressions are not particularly nice.

I'm a sensitive guy. If you are a woman and you're in any kind of emotional duress and you write a song about it, I'll buy you album.

Software is becoming no different than a videotape or a record album or a paperback book, and not all of us are ready for that change.

One of my goals is to find an unsigned YouTube artist and feature them on my album. That's what I wished someone would've done for me.

I was an eBay addict before my first album hit big. I wanted to go on this tour of the world, so I started selling everything on eBay.

There will be a Jussie Smollett album. I signed to Columbia. So, darling, I'm label mates with Beyonce and Adele and Barbra Streisand.

I am grateful to fans' warm support for my acting, but I thought it might be better if I sing again to meet their wishes for my album.

My wife has great taste in everything but men. The vast majority of the songs on my debut album, 'Traveller,' came from lists she made.

A concert is a concert is a concert is a concert. An album is an album is an album is an album. Musically, both have nothing in common.

If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road.

I'm not going to make a song just to make a song. The day that I make an album, it's so that people really know what Bad Bunny's about.

Making an album is always a puzzle: you start by seeing a lot of different pieces, and they all need to come together into one picture.

Brazilian music has been a part of almost every record I've done, and I'd eventually like to record an entire album of Brazilian music.

I wanted to make an album that plays from the top to bottom and feels together and complete. That's just something that felt important.

I believe that music is another form of news. Music is another form of journalism to me so I have to cover all the areas with my album.

The album 'Hoodie SZN' is about the result of where I come from: it gave me this black heart. And the black heart represents depression.

After the success of my first album and the success of 'Flow Joe' kind of faded, I was struggling to make some money and make ends meet.

Twenty percent of my records, you'll find a loop, like two or three loops per album out of 13 or 15 songs. I'd rather keep it like that.

After putting out songs with 26 million views on YouTube, your life changes a little bit. Suddenly everyone's like, 'Where's the album?'

I don't ever land on an album title until I know exactly what's going on the record, because you never know until it's all said and done.

I didn't really feel that there were any filler tracks on 'The Red Shoes,' but if I were to do that album now, I wouldn't make it so long.

Portugal. The Man, to me, doesn't have any real ties. We try to change things up with every album, really progress, and let things happen.

To me I think artists in general make a statement - and for the rest of their lives - every album, every book - are variations on a theme.

I always wanted to make a three-record set. 'Sign o' the Times' was originally supposed to be a triple album, but it ended up as a double.

My dad raised me on everything from his music to Stevie Wonder to A Tribe Called Quest. I learned the 'Midnight Marauders' album in and out.

I don't want to interview people. I want to have a conversation. I want to talk to Paul McCartney about the bass sound on 'The White Album.'

Bob Dylan's first couple of records in the 60's weren't considered cover records, but he only wrote one or two original songs on each album.

For us, an album is the highest art form - an album or a really incredible film. We're musicians, not filmmakers, so this is what we can do.

The record companies didn't want 'Stony Road,' and it ended up being a gold album. They didn't want 'Blue Guitars,' and we did 165,000 books.

You know, I always root for the older athlete. I root for the second album. I root for solo careers after the rock star breaks the band apart.

I think every album you have to stretch further and further, give people another piece of you. But then I always try to deviate from the norm.

I struggled with the pressure of having the successful record after the first record. Second album syndrome. I'm living proof; it's very real.

The whole experience of getting an album from an artist you like and listening to it from beginning to end is sort of gone. Now it's piecemeal.

El Perro del Mar sort of accompanied my time at 'SNL.' To concentrate and focus, I would play the bass to one of her songs from her third album.

I think that, whatever happens, I'm just happy I've written those songs and I've made an album. That's really big for me, and I'm proud of that.
