I guarantee you that I recorded one of the albums in your top 10

I guarantee you that I recorded one of the albums in your top 10.

Go back to Twin Peaks, Albini.

My man Steve Albino

damn...

That's not even the pinnacle of my work.

>mfw

Rid of Me is my favorite thing he did, but it's not in my top 10.

>it's a steve pretends he's solely an engineer and doesn't have an obvious sound episode

if you actually think this is the pinnacle of Albini's work, you are dead wrong

Two Nuns and a Pack Mule is fucking great

great but not the pinnacle of anything

nope, not even any of my top 100

At Action Park is likely in my top 30

actually he just set's up the mics and hit's record
had some friends who recorded their; hand to god
band broke up before it was released

If it weren't for:

And a couple of Low albums, he wouldn't even have anything in my top 100.

God dammit you're right. I have such love hate feelings about this guy.

technically true but slightly misleading
the thing is he acts like he doesn't have a "sound" when in reality his recordings are instantly recognizable no matter what band

because the drums are always phenomenal

Fuck off Steve

indeed, but they aren't just phenomenal drums, they're albini's very specific brew of phenomenal drums, know what i'm saying?

Surfer Rosa is the only thing close
but Doolittle is better

Bob Weston can replicate the Albini drums pretty well.

why hate?

Yep. My point is, the fact that we're even talking about "albini drums" means he has a sound, which he always denies. I've read of bands needing to hold him back so they don't just sound like ALBINI RECORDING #89356747

>needing to hold him back
Does Albini even do anything that warrants him needing to be held back? Last I heard he was playing Scrabble during a recording session. I feel like Albini just creates his sound with minimal effort, especially now that he's been doing this for so long. So in that sense how much more can he be held back for doing practically nothing? I love Albini but come on.

I sort of feel like he didn't do a great job on Yanqui UXO.

well seeing as to that my top 10 albums are all yung caucasian by yung caucasian, produced by yung caucasian, your guarantee does not stand.

Held back from sounding like himself. Not literally some guy holding him in a full nelson to stop him from taking a dump in the kick drum. Basically just making him record things differently than he normally does, because his recording is extremely distinctive and they didn't want to sound like "ALBINI RECORD"

Stop niggering up my thread.

>mics the room
>hits record
>takes a nap
>cashes the check
It's halarious plebes think this guy is anything other than a huckster.
>muh analog
lmao

...

To elaborate, just because he has his techniques down to a science and can practically record a band automatically doesn't mean he doesn't have a dramatic effect on the end product. His engineering is his production and vice versa.

Albini puts the artists in charge of the sound direction. Even if he doesn't particularly "get" or like what they're going for, he listens to them. If the artists have that much control, then they could really make their album sound different if they really wanted to, but clearly they come to Albini because they had his sound in mind.

>people being suprised and angry even at the fact that this guy treats his job like a job and doesn't go into every projcet he gets payed to record like it's an artpiece or something he is recording with his mates

remember all you need to get Steve to record your album is the money, nothing more. You can't expect insane amouts of passion or creative input when his business model is the way it is

>tfw your top 10 albums consists entirely of Danish and German metal bands from the early 80s

>minimal effort
>steve is a lazy turd who doesn't give shit
wew lads. rude

>Albini puts the artists in charge of the sound direction.
>but clearly they come to Albini because they had his sound in mind.
both of these are technically true, but you can see the ambiguity here, yeah?

Based Trent

i like a lot of albums he recorded but none would be considered top ten. I explored outside of Sup Forumscore

What is it that you're not getting?

>artists are in charge of the sound
>but they're there for his sound

>everything is just one sound, rather than a combination of soudns and variables, some controlled by the artist, some controlled by Albini

Surfer Rosa is amazing you cant deny that

all i can say is anytime he says something about "not having a sound" he's full of it, it's just obfuscation, he drenches bands in his essence

He presents what they sound like, unadorned by production tricks.

Hence it is purely them, not him.

A producer like Butch Vig drenches bands in his essence. People willingly come to Albini for his "essence." It's all consensual with Albini.

>NO BUTCH!
>DON'T!
what did they mean by this

Consensual or not, it's there and he pretends it's not.

That was Cobain being "persuaded" to double his vocals. "Come on man, Lennon did it..."

Please stop this meme

>recorded one song on a Cribs album and still BTFOed Dave Fridmann

He's worked with several of my top ten artists, but none of my top ten albums. Truth told I don't love the impact he has on the music he produces.

wow really?

this album actually sounds good though.

not top 10 but definitely top 25

nothing else he's produced is that far up my list

Gal might be in my top 10 favorite songs though

>King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
>King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon
>King Crimson - Lizard
>King Crimson - Islands
>King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic
>King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black
>King Crimson - Red
>King Crimson - Discipline
>King Crimson - Beat
>King Crimson - Three of a Perfect Pair
