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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've never wanted to name an album from a song title if I could avoid it because I like it to be a body of work.
I had no album title, and the album is like a journey in that it's a complete body of work. It's not just a couple of catchy songs and filler, so I felt that I needed to capture the essence of the album.
It took a long while for me to even put out a record because there were so many options of how to do a song, and in some respects, I'm never totally happy with the outcome.
When you're releasing an album, you never know how it's going to go. You never know how a critic is going to receive it or how much it's going to sell.
I learn all these things about the record talking about it after it's finished.
Sometimes the song title comes with the songs, other times you just sorta make something up afterwards.
You never know when you put out an album that's unique whether it'll get beat up for it or not.
I'm never doing a new album. I'll probably do nothing but singles. I'm as good as anybody out there lyrically and conceptually and can go toe to toe with the best of them throughout history. But I don't know how much longer I'll be doing it. It's not really fun anymore.
I tend to name albums after one of the songs.
You have all these song titles and song time, and you put it in a certain order, and you slap a cover on it. That's a record. That's how I've seen all my records.
