Absolute fucking legend in every sense, RIP to an extremely real one.

Jesus...61 years old
Freakin' awful

Absolutely terrible...it's kind of hard to wrap your arms how many great albums he worked on, across tons of styles.

He's also one of the most informative and accessible people to talk about music production and how he does what he does; if you're trying to do some recording on your own, his videos and interviews are essential. He explains everything in a way that doesn't dumb anything down but completely sidesteps the terminology and lingo that can feel impossible to decipher.

someone check on trag

Dang. Thoughts are with his family and also Trag.

Wow, this is horribly surreal, legendary guy always fighting the good fight, rip.

"Engineered" two of my favorite rock records of all time.

Always pushed back against industry nonsense and had more integrity than just about anyone.

damn, this is a very hard year for Trag really

Wow, what a loss. RIP Steve, and sorry Trag

Huge bummer. I spent a long time thinking Albini was a petulant snob because at some point he dissed a couple bands I liked, but over the last few years following his presence on social media and (more importantly) seeing his business and artistic practices made it clear that he was an uncommonly principled and admirable dude who was right about a lot of things. He made those drums sound huge, too. RIP

Is the production on Dark Matter a prime suspect?

what the hell man

r.i.p. to a legend

Sorry trag.

Blasting Surfer Rosa right now
