      100% but he would endorse having his ashes fired from a cannon into the Spiderland lake in Utica, IN. He didn’t work on that album, but still.

    Albini truly had a major impact on the Seattle grunge scene in more ways than one. He was a true punk and never let that go. Big Black was one of the most crucial bands for the 80’s. Rest easy Albini.

    R.I.P. Steve. 61 may have been far too young but one has to take into consideration he lived three lifetimes, one as the founder of three influential post-hardcore bands, another as an extremely talented and innovative audio engineer with a couple of thousand albums to his name, and one as an all around great guy with an infectious sense if humor.

Dude was probably the textbook sedentary workaholic studio dude. Lots of sitting. No shade on him, but...that could be. He got quite chubbed out the last decade.

    RIP! Impossible task to record something real. The very definition of recording is to look to the future which changes awareness to performance. Stevecdid the best he could, but it’s a fools game. Before and In between his recordings was his real life and most likely well lived.

    Everything you see is a picture of what you want it to be. It never is the way you think it is. Steve Albini had little to do with the real recordings of most of my songwriting I did in secrecy. These are words, I don’t get credit I don’t get payment. Be kind to the touring groups if they get caught as you were never kind to me when I say that I wrote and recorded the music. Take care. You won’t be in my shoes ever, and I know what I was.

    If not for Albini's PRODUCTION, In Utero would be nothing more than a footnote as Nirvana's final album. It is grossly overrated.
