All the albums i have that have been recorded by him are great:

Nirvana - In Utero
Superchunk - No Pocky for Kitty
The Breeders - Pod
The Wedding Present - Seamonsters
Pixies - Surfer Rosa

The remastered version of Seamonsters in particular is awesome. Who else likes his style?

    I like his style and think he has done some incredible work.....however I think his production on PJ Harveys potentially brilliant album "Rid Of Me" is TERRIBLE.

    "1993's Rid of Me—ferocious performance, despite a third-rate production job by Steve 'I hate the human voice' Albini."

    Hmm haven't heard that album. I have a copy of To Bring You My Love which is pretty decent.

    It is true though he does leave vocals a tad low in the mix!

    also nice work with the Living Things album. Not so much on the new Stooges.

    ahhhh you got there before me. totally agree, yet Pj Harvey claims to greatly admire his production on that album.
    for me he fucked it,,,,,,,great songs that are superior on her 4-Track Demos.

    Check out the recordings he's done with the post rock band "Mono"

    Amazing stuff.

    I want him to do the next PJ record very badly

    The Rapeman record is f'ing sweet! Such a killer cover of the ZZ Topp song 'Just Got Paid'... I like Big Black a lot as well -- Atomizer pretty much opened the door to stuff beyond metal for me back in the 80's.

    Steve Albini also worked on Page and Plant's Walking Into Clarksdale, I think he mixed it rather than producing it. The production on that CD is terrible, its a crying shame
