I don't even remember the last time I bought an album, honestly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The only album that I listen to upon recording a new one is my 'Cry' album, because sonically, I think it's my best album to date. But other than that, I've never listened to my records, ever.
I've never listened to an album once I've finished it. All I hear is what I should've done different. I beat myself up over it.
The album's not dead for me; I still buy vinyl albums.
In the '80s, I was putting out an album virtually every year, I think mostly based on fear - that if I didn't, people would soon forget about me.
The first time I really listened to an album and thought, 'This album is mine,' was Kanye's 'Late Registration.'
I'm so embarrassed by that album. I don't even own it myself.
My first album was completed in three months.
Don't get me wrong, I love my first two albums a lot.
Every time I do an album, I say, 'That's the last one.'
The 'Maybe Memories' album I remember having and listening until it broke. I remember it skipped one day; two or three songs wouldn't play on my CD player because I listened to it so much.
