Come on, you’re all ruined... especially you Josi, who must have had an indigestion of catechism. Enough with the dogmas; everything should be understood with a nice "for me" in front (are we or are we not children of relativism?), in the middle, and also at the end of every comment or single thing I write. You’re all ruined. I’ll leave you to play with the shit. Goodbye... how silly of me to waste time.

What you said, you said it yourself. Albini is fundamental, he has recorded masterpieces (if you want to call them that, call them so) and he has played/created masterpieces (let’s call them that). I’m not climbing anywhere, I don’t give a damn. You mistook Albini’s records for those he has recorded; just imagine how much I care about arguing or being right (being right is for fools) about someone who doesn’t know the pieces of a decade or all of American music. I never said that everything Albini does is a masterpiece, on the contrary... quite the opposite, but the discussion would be long and I’ll keep my soliloquies to myself. Tschuss. Ah, the decade ends in a few months... let’s keep our fingers crossed!

If you mean this: Just a moment... this is not an EP, but just an album.

Wrong. Those who produce get involved in what you do. They tell you to change the guitar, to tweak the vocals this way or to play the drums more straight. Well, if you go to Albini, these things don't exist. Albini mics everything, the band plays, and he reads the newspaper. When the band is finished, he puts down the newspaper and mixes. That's how Albini works. He doesn't produce, your baker produces. He’s a director. In 1982, Sonic Youth released their demo; Confusion is from '83. Independent of Albini? But you don't have to go to Albini necessarily, and then you mentioned Sonic Youth, not exactly newcomers. You’ve brought up a heavyweight, people who have value, musically and meta-musically, at least as much as Albini... who, however, remains the biggest trickster of them all.

No, Terraform is good (3 out of 5), but nothing more... even though it’s a must-have because of Didn't We Deserve a Look at You the Way You Really Are, which is a real game-changer, but a game-changer that... I don't know. Definitely worth having. :)

His hand, in the records I've mentioned, plays the guitar, records, adjusts knobs on the mixer, and sings ;) Secondly, if you tell Albini that he has produced an album, he will at least respond with harsh words. He does not produce: he records. It's different. Thirdly, if you confuse the albums that Albini creates with his bands by passing them off as those he records, I may be biased, but you are not on any side since you don't know what you're talking about. Noise doesn't exist, Alternative (to what?) neither. There is the underground, and Albini has been setting the rules from 1982 to today, and it will work this way for a long time yet.

It's not essential. He just made two of the greatest albums of the '80s ("Atomizer" and "Songs About Fucking"), one of the best of the '90s ("At Action Park"), and the best of the '00s ("1000 Hurts")... he recorded all the cool albums that are on this earth, making them sound beastly, and he practically taught all teenagers from 1982 to today how to make a racket and play punk music. Do the math.

I was thinking about making it, but I couldn't come up with it. Beautiful, well done. The best of Burton (great director, but too often praised almost as a matter of principle) in my opinion. It’s a close call, just a matter of millimeters, with Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before, and Big Fish.
