We all agree that Jawbreaker's "24 Hour Revenge Therapy" was his best production work, right?

- pstuart 2y agoBut I'm gonna be that guy that says "Dear You" is better. To each their own, but it's a pity that album got slagged.
- runnr_az 2y agoWe were such dicks back then. I blame Steve Albini :)
- parpfish 2y agoI thought Joanna Newsom's Ys was great (although very different from his best known works)
- spudlyo 2y agoOh my god. I had no idea he produced that. That record is of monumental importance to one of my dearest friends, and hooked me on early Emo in a way that Rites of Spring never could. Going to listen again and try to detect the invisible hand of Albini. What stands out to you about the production?
- runnr_az 2y agoThe listed producer, “Flus” was Albini’s cat. That’s how punk Blake and the gang were - didn’t even list their indie-famous producer on their most popular album. Punk as fuck. As to why, it’s a fantastic example of what Albini did best - it sounds like a real band, raw and live, both melodic and rough around the edges. The guitar sound, iconic, but in the service of the songs. There’s a kind of efficiency to the album - like, no wasted fat, audio gimmick, etc… the Alpinist of punk, bring nothing you don’t need. Can’t wait for someone to generate a version of Nevermind with the production of 24 Hour…
- adw 2y agoI think you can make a case for “Things We Lost In The Fire” by Low extremely easily; or for “After Murder Park” by the Auteurs. As a recording engineer he had a lot more range than people gave him credit for, largely because his own music was so abrasive.
- nemo44x 2y agoPod by The Breeders imo.
