Each album takes two or two-and-a-half years to finish between recording and touring. It's like being with an old boyfriend every single night watching the same things on TV. There is a world out there going on that I'm missing.

Usually, when we go out, it's because we made a new studio album, and that becomes the focus of the tour throughout the world for a year or so.

— Chris Squire

Quite understandably, people think that if there's a six-year gap or whatever, that it's taken me six years to make the album. It's not really like that at all.

— Kate Bush

Each album has its own cycle. We wanted to capture all those feelings and moments for this touring cycle.

— Brad Delson

In all the years that I've been doing this, I've never launched a tour and launched an album at basically the same time. Doing one of those things is enough!

— Kenny Chesney

It's been over 15 years since I toured... over 12 years since I did any recording under my own name. I never really intended to take that long of a hiatus.

An album is a thing you take time out and go work on.

— Courtney Barnett

When you work on an album for three and a half years, you're kind of ready for it to get out there. To have your songs reach people.

I wish records got made faster and looser with less thought in them, but since touring is so much more profitable than records, you spend so much time on the road that it's hard to work on them. And the records get further and further apart.

— Britt Daniel

Touring, and being in a band, it's almost like the other stuff, the other parts of life, get put on hold.

— Florence Welch

✗Opposing Perspectives

As opposed to touring for three years and then going into the studio and writing an album, I think this record is representative of a lot of everyday people.
