But when you hear the complete album, it gets dark, really straight-up rock, with some really intimate moments with just me and the piano. It's not completely me because there are parts of me that aren't on that song, that are on the album.

Pain is definitely a genius in his own right. 'Thr33 Ringz' is definitely one of my top 10 albums. It's one of those albums you listen to front-to-back.

The call of love sounds very hollow among these immobile rocks.

Its rock n' roll that has done my hearing in.

I feel that after all those horrible reviews and jokes, I wasn't crazy all these years to stand up for the music I believe in. This album has proven that somewhere in the human race, the human heart is still racing and breaking and I am so grateful.

I like expansive stuff that has a lot of space in it, like some of the early Pink Floyd albums.

I think that most people really know if it's a really great album.

People consider Black Star a great album, and I think it's a classic album. But the fact is, both me and Mos Def have made better albums since Black Star.

Music expresses what cannot be put into words I like to think, and I think the band makes a good go at it.
