For many, an album is no longer a considerable feat of an artist but just sounds to be half-listened to while one is halfheartedly engaged in something else.

There's no point that an album should sound like a watered down version of another album.

You might have a favorite band and really dislike one of the records. That's fine.

To compare the albums is like trying to compare apples and oranges.

You can't judge an album by a single song; it's like judging a book by only reading a single chapter.

A lot of songs are derivative of each other.

Like books and black lives, albums still matter.

I continue to believe, contrary to the given wisdom, that it's more interesting to have an album - or, indeed, an individual song - which has variety rather than homogeneity.

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.

Each song has its own life.
