1. record at least 20+ trax, unless u already got some good catchy ones in mind.

2. make sure the the songs all follow the same theme of sound, unless u can pull different themes off where they still all flow as one (like "Sign O The Times" unlike "Chaos & Disorder or even "The Hits 1 & 2" where thy seemed like they were off course.)

3. Include no filler. Any song u can remember and sticks in your head should be taken seriously.

4. Nice album cover that demands attention, and a title that flows with the record...or theme. Alot of artists albums these days .. their titles..i mean its like...what's so special about that? "Beyonce: Dangerously In Love" I can think of some more but...

I had 2 learn thtat while making my last one, and it's my favorite. I began with like 17 songs... lots o filler. In the end it came down to 10, and it was WAAAY better. I read this book on how 2 make an album and promote it a while ago.

serious guys, he really wants 2 du this. We should b supporting our org musicans and not dissing them. What about if u came on here and the rest of us started sayin silly mess about what u have done. It aint funny, didnt some1 just post something called "encouragement vs. harsh criticism"?

2 get respect, u gotta give respect.

Hey, we just kidding man! It's just that "Vavoom" is like his trademark, you know. But anyway, if you are really serious about this, Shausler, you are more than welcome here!
