From its conception and that one and only meeting, 'HITNRUN' took about 90 days to prepare its release. If that's what freedom feels like, 'HITNRUN' is what it sounds like.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's an album that is a little bit different and probably isn't easy to get out. It's not likely that a major label would have picked it up and said that they had a smash hit record.
It's healthy to have two or three weeks' gap between big releases.
Maybe 'Can't Stop Feeling' and 'Turn It On' we'll just release as singles. It's a thing The Beatles used to do which I really loved, the idea of releasing something as a single completely on its own.
When I'm on stage the savage in me is released. It's like going back to being a cave man. It takes me six hours to come down after a show.
When 'Destroyer' was first released, we got a strong backlash from our hardcore fans. After six months, the album was dead in the water. The critics didn't think much of it, either.
Some of our early work was two minutes twenty when it actually came out on vinyl, very, very, very short. Sometimes if you made a three-minute record they would make you do an edited version for radio, particularly in America.
It only took me six months to get a record deal, but it took me 20 years to have a hit.
The release date is just one day, but the record is forever.
It takes us about four or five days to get an album out.
You need to know when to surrender the album.
