Does anyone remember that Albini produced Bush's "Razorblade Suitcase" in 1996?

The guy refers to Pearl Jam as "mimicking underground culture" and part of the "cash in crowd".

This almost sounds like a swipe at Rick Rubin. Rubin (with his techniques) has produced some timeless, classic albums.

Steve Albini wrote:If a record takes more than a week to make, somebody's fucking up.

Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois spent a year recording U2's Achtung Baby...that album is bloody masterpiece.

Albini is a poser. At the time it was "true"...now is just funny.

Wendy Carlos's Twin wrote:This is my Nirvana B-Sides set. I auditioned a whole pile of vinyl transfers and some are transfers that I did myself. Most of the digital tracks are untouched. It's 100% lossless and complete. I don't think it gets any better...

Kevin Davis wrote: This set (fully assembled with cover art and all!) has constituted the bulk of my listening for the last three days. Nirvana's camp should just slap a sticker on this thing and release it, right down to the packaging. This is exactly the kind of catch-all roundup their catalog is missing, and the sound is great. The fact that it includes all the live versions of album cuts and alternate mixes alongside the rare songs makes it feel genuinely like an "alternate history," familiar material from a familiar career but weaving through slightly different loopholes. Great stuff, thanks for sharing.

That Bush album actually sounds pretty good, though.

Albini's mixes are the best god damned things on this set.

I'm sure this has been covered in this thread, but how many Albini mixes are on this set?

Heart-Shaped Box
All Apologies

I thought Pennyroyal Tea was one, but it's the Scott Litt mix. It's still pretty awesome.

Audiophiles can get their hands on this reworking November 29th, when the modern mix is released as a 45 RPM, 180-gram limited edition double vinyl on Black Friday for November's Record Store Day. The record was mastered at Abbey Road Studios with alternative artwork specific to the release.
