- About the album, he told Yahoo Music in an interview;
“I think attention spans of our generation have just shrunk into microscopic levels. And that’s crazy to me, because when I was growing up, when I fell in love with music, when I got to be the age where I had my own taste in music and I knew what I liked and what CDs I was saving my money up to buy, it was a different time. I would save up my money when I was 10, 11, 12 years old, and I’d go down to Tower Records. I could get one CD a month, you know what I mean? You really lived with that CD. You committed to which one. You had to choose which one you were going to buy, and you lived with that. You’d read the booklets, the liner notes, the production credits, everything, and you’d play it front to back. You didn’t just play the single. You really learned an artist’s album. I’ve always been a fan, and still am, and a believer in the concept of the album as an expression of an artist’s self in story.
I mean, I knew that this was a big undertaking — 20 songs and a short film — but we made over a hundred songs. This was all I could do. We tried to trim it down as much as we could, and the theme that just kind of came to me through the process of making it is that it was really these two sounds, these two perspectives on the lifestyle, and these two kinds of personalities inside of me.” - source : Yahoo Music
