I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sounds exactly the same, Infact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's no point that an album should sound like a watered down version of another album.
Of the 25 songs we've recorded there were 24 that we wanted to have on an album. That wouldn't have worked. So when one of our wise managers suggested the idea of considering two different album, it cleared the way for us.
I think that the idea of having a different approach to every single one of my albums is so exciting to me. I never want to make the same record twice. Why do it? What's the point?
What we hear now is great-sounding records with great-sounding grooves and loops. And the sound of these records is irresistible, but the craft of songwriting is just about over. That's why, whenever I get an opportunity to do an album full of standards, I jump at it because I miss it.
It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.
It's trippy to think we have an album that's 10 years old. It's even trippier to think we have a couple of albums older than that.
Over the years, Yes actually made 20 albums of original studio material.
Every album that I've attempted, I suppose, has been different - it's bound to be.
I think that all my albums are different enough where I don't feel like I did this the last time.
I like to come up with lots of different sounds. So the final version of a song might have been 10 completely different songs before we finally got it right.
