What was his best work?
Steve Albini passed away one year ago today
Leftover Crack - Fuck World Trade
Guys that used to say “nigger” but then turn into raging outspoken leftists later in life are the worst. I can’t take listen to his music. Same with anything Jello Biafra is involved in.

Jello only used it in a song, and it was a commentary on how the yuppies spoke at the time (pretending to be into jazz and black struggles, but using the word "nigger" in private company).
two nuns and a pack mule + budd EP
yuppies

Basically, he was pointing out the hypocrisy of the "woke" crowd at the time.
I miss him bros...

Magnolia Electric Co.
Weedeater - God Luck and Good Speed

twink albini a cute

This
In Utero is a masterpiece in spite of albini
slints first album
final shellac album was really mediocre and i really rooted for him since dude incredible was great
The first Chevelle album
rape
i use the nigger-word, but exclusively in a sophisticated way
sure you do, champ
best sounding HoF album for me, though there's arguments for death is this communion or the earlier rawer ones
Rape?
spends 2 hours putting 100 microphones around a drum set, presses record then leaves to gamble online
Still feels weird. He didn't seem too old and no one really expected it.
Really a memento mori that none of us are invincible and any of us could die any hour of any day
You are telling me he wasn't actually racist and was just trying to shock people
chuds are pathetic, go cry about how you are being genocided because no one wants to sleep with you
Albini's death really bummed me out, had a ticket to see Shellac in June and everything, him and Geordie Walker dying within 6 months of each other, two of my biggest post punk heroes gone, fucking sucks, not many of them left
They made an entire film about Steve Albini in 2024 and Anon Babble didn't even have one thread about it. Don't you patronize music-related independent cinema?
Apparently he had a heart condition from some infection he had in his youth. So unfortunately he was likely to die younger than average because of it.
They Piled In - Odd Future
Nirvana In Utero or Pixies Surfer Rosa
yeah
The iced fluffy.
changing your mind based on life experience is le bad
Die in a fire.
based on life experience
Weird how they always 'change their mind' right as society shifts in that direction
