Don't know the Albini Solo Stuff but Shellac rock like shit especially Auction Park!Very mean lyrics.
If his "words of wisdom" are anywhere near as inspiring as his production techniques, chances are I won't be interested.
if you can name anyone who comes anywhere close to the quality of his production, then i would like to know, and i don,t mean ross robinson or rick rubin, who only wish that they were as good. Steve albini and trent rezner are the leaders in sound production.
I like Big Black ok, but not Shellac so much....I like a lot of his recordings, mostly stuff he has done for local bands around here etc.
