It's easy to make an album full of great songs. But I want people to go for the ride. The songs have to make sense together.

I always felt if we were going in to do an album, there should already be a lot of structure already made up so we could get on with that and see what else happened.

A lot of people do talk about the demise of the album, but I still believe that if an artist tries hard to make a great album, people will buy it and listen to it as an album, rather than just a collection of random songs.

A whole album to one writer - now that would be really interesting.

If part of the purpose of making an album is to get some radio play, then you might as well think about that. But that's not really how we picked the songs.

I think with certain artists you want to hear their album... and then there are other artists who I like where maybe it's more about the single. I don't think there is going to be one way that everything works.

We're probably doing better business than we thought we would do especially considering the disappointing way the record company has handled the album.

If I tried to make a commercial album, it would be a complete flop. I have no idea what the world at large likes.

We have been trying to play a lot of different kinds of music, and probably the next album will go back more towards the direction where you couldn't classify each song as a certain kind of music. This album you can.
