I generally think Steve Albini is a good recording engineer.

I liked Shellac and thought highly of him as a producer when I was younger. Then I started posting on his forums. He's like an... OK guy I guess? He's not overtly stupid, but he's not intelligent either. And he's definitely a prick once he gets talking.

Being over exposed to him through those comments kinda ruined him for me as an artist. I have a lot of good memories trolling him and pissing off people on that forum though. Fucking hilarious. There's something kinda special about my ability to listen to Shellac and think "I have personally pissed that guy off on purpose online and had him rant about me."

Is he still active on the forums?

Shellac sounds abrasive because he wanted it to sound abrasive.

Albini's weird like that.
Like, how come the bloke who's most renowned for his ability to get great drum sounds used a drum machine on all songs by his most famous band? Maybe he's just fucking with us, I don't know.
