im a planeeeeeeee whzhuooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

why is there only a poll that they suck live but not that theyre amazing live? on of the best live bands i've seen actually. its amazing how they just make up shit right on the spot on some songs and theyve got such a connection with the crowd.


there.

everything they've done is pretty awesome, all of the albums have their own vibe and their own subjects and none of them really suck; i like greyhound, the production sounds different than the other records, imo its clearer and louder.


hey,that hoodie looks pretty good guys, dont cramp his style!

ah poll says pick the worst?

I was about to point out how fuckin' "clean" the production on "..greyhound" is. So amazing. the higher the volume, the better the sound, the more the record is great.

i guess i haven't listened to this loud enough
myeah

yes
THE POLL says "PICK THE WORST"

well, if you don't like the songs I guess the "technical qualities" of the recording won't affect much your judgment...it's a matter of tastes after all, there's no right or wrong.

yep; i was seriously disappointed with the songs
being an uberfan and just not liking the songs left a bitter aftertaste on the few first listens.
i do admire the quality of the recording, blah, but , man so much weakness in the songwriting department, i even thought to myself "hey that is sooo self indulgent'. There's one songs that is really good and it lasts a couple of minutes.
so disappointed
knowing that we'll have to wait until 2034 for the next LP
hence "pick the worst" , just to see whether i was the only one or not
now u know everything

yeah rapeman and big black are the best bands

two nuns is awesome

bump because

shellac- button factory (formerly temple bar music centre) dublin
28th october!!!!! fuck yeah

tickets here shortly

Shellac is far and away my favorite Albini band. Don't get me wrong, I love Big Black, and Rapeman were decent, but they don't come close to Shellac for me.

I actually rather liked Excellent Italian Greyhound. In fact, Spoke is one of my single favorite Shellac songs. At Action Park is their best though.

I liked Excellent Italian Greyhound

all of albini's output is good.

there is another genius in shellac tho.. robert weston is almost up with albini in the engineer stakes!

and that guy who plays the drums is pretty cool too.

true... not dismissing mr trainer at all!

whoa, he's wearing an mx-80 sound shirt. that's amazing...

Quoted from another Shellac appreciation thread out of sheer laziness.

you could at least edit that spelling error...

And you could at least start a sentence with a capital letter, ignaramous.

albini is the coolest motherfucker in underground rock, period.

shellac is the master of opening tracks: "my black ass", "didnt we deserve a look at you the way you really are', 'a prayer to god' (!), and "the end of radio" are all fucking rocking. such great tracks to start a record.
