BMDrummer: Steve Albini

BMDrummer 06.27.14	Damn, not much Silkworm stuff on the site, I need to add that.
ArsMoriendi 06.27.14	You need to switch Doolittle with Surfer Rosa. Albini didn't produce Doolittle. Well he's the frontman of Big Black so he's automatically awesome. His production on In Utero and Surfer Rosa were great too. Also he produced PJ Harvey's debut Dry which is amazing.
BMDrummer 06.27.14	Oh, I always thought he did. Either way, that story is true.
ArsMoriendi 06.27.14	Also If you like Albini's production so much check out PJ Harvey's first two albums: Dry and Rid of Me. Dry's a 4.5 for me. Rid of Me is a 4.
BMDrummer 06.27.14	I put those on my list of stuff to check out, will do so
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 06.27.14	i like john congleton
BeneaththeDarkOcean 06.27.14	i like john congleton [2], though albini is a better engineer, congleton is a better human being. I appreciate that Albini has his opinions on things and a lot of them I respect but a lot of them I also disagree with. :shrug: Also, not sure if you should put 9 on here, he only recorded one song on that record.
Relinquished 06.27.14	check out the hosemobile - what can and can't go wrong for albini produced math rock
ShadowRemains 06.27.14	purplene
WellFedWhiteMale 06.27.14	Albini is a great human being, artist, and producer. I'd put Cloud Nothings 'Attack On Memory' somewhere on this list. It was fantastic on all accounts.
mikep87 06.27.14	Razorblade Suitcase is amazing. often overlooked because of sixteen stone but RS is better imo
Necrotica 06.27.14	Albini's kind of an asshole personality-wise but his production work is simply fantastic. One of the best for sure
Riviere 06.27.14	Nah he's just opinionated. Some of which would probably piss off half this site. He's easily one of the most quotable people in music. "It sucks and I’m tired of hearing about it. Believe me I’ve tried. I just hate the parts I hate about it more than I like the little things there are to like. The batting average is just so low I can’t bear the dead time between highlights being filled with all that noodling. It’s vain music.” - Albini on Jazz
PappyMason 06.27.14	A bit of a legend when it comes to producing.
SeaAnemone 06.27.14	yeah purplene is better than any album on this list, though definitely not the most albini thing in the world he didn't produce spiderland, did he? ton of good stuff, either way. I always forget he did that godspeed album.
zakalwe 06.27.14	"We don't make albums we make weapons" Nice one Steve.
BMDrummer 06.27.14	He didn't produce Spiderland, but he famously gave it "ten fucking stars" in Melody Maker when it came out.
DrGonzo1937 06.27.14	Albini = legend. 1,3,4,5 and 9 are personal faves.
JokineAugustus 06.27.14	Needs Zao
WhiteNoise 07.06.14	Love the guy. Produced some of my all time favourite albums. Definitely used him as an influence when my band recorded our EP
DrGonzo1937 07.06.14	His guitar tone is unearthly.
PappyMason 08.01.14	p4k just did a mini feature on Steve. I definitely enjoyed watching the live videos of Big Black.
PappyMason 08.01.14	Steve Albini http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/9468-steve-albini/
BMDrummer 08.01.14	just checked that, interesting stuff. both bootlegs are awesome
Trebor. 08.01.14	where the fuck is Purplene smh
Trebor. 08.01.14	also Albini doesn't consider himself a producer, simply an engineer
BMDrummer 08.01.14	i know
DrJohn 08.01.14	^^ "decent records are made in, if not complete disregard... significant disregard, for everybody who isn't in the band ... If they tried to dumb it down for other people it wouldn't be as awesome because it wouldn't be as complete an exposure of their mania." I found the above Albini excerpt. It sounds... as something an engineer would say.
DrGonzo1937 08.02.14	Shame it's on that shithole site, pitchfolk. But it was a nice read.
FourthDyke 08.02.14	theres kerosene around something to do
owen 09.16.14	he's just a poseur copying kurt ballou
DikkoZinner 09.16.14	Never anything to do in this town.
Supercoolguy64 09.16.14	Been here my whole life
