I think the theme of the album probably was just that it was our first record.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We knew we wanted to put a lot of melody into it - a lot more than what we did on our first album.
The first album is a classic record and I think the prototype of a sound that no one else does.
Back in the day you wanted your albums to have a theme, and 'Sports' theme was really a collection of singles. It was really a record for its time.
I'm sure if we had made an album that was more traditional would have been released immediately. When we actually play this music on stage and people become familiar with it, it will become more popular.
We toyed with the idea of making it a double album, but I think that would only have confused everybody even more, so we decided to stick with the songs we picked.
I think that it can be said of a lot of artists, and myself included, that we made the same record over and over from the beginning.
Any band on their first couple records is just trying to keep up with their inspiration.
But when our first album came out, I didn't think it was going to sell a lot of records.
I realized at a young age that sequence in an album is almost as important as the songs that are on the album.
I was wildly out of style when that television theme song suddenly pushed its way onto the Top Ten. It was certainly not the record company trying to make that happen.
