TheFix Yousinger further drew comparisons with theHarry Potter booksand two other music icons, The Beatles and Bob Marley.
We are only going to do 12 proper albums and that’s real. Having that limit means the quality control is so high right now and for a song to make it, it’s almost impossible, which is great. And so where we could be coasting, we’re trying to improve… There’s only seven Harry Potters. There’s only 12 ½ Beatles’ albums, there’s about the same for Bob Marley, so all our heroes.
But apart from following in the footsteps of other greats of the medium, Martin expressed“I want to give the others some of their life for themselves”, which is reasonable given how much wrangling of people is involved in an album’s creation.
