it’s wayyyyyyy way way way better lol

yesssssssss

have this one sitting in my apartment

love my nonmusic friends reactions to the cover

always liked their other one better but anything Albini actually played on is great, and most of his massive production discog ranges from good-classic

yah songs about f***ing slaps pretty hard but ur right atomizer is probably a more impressive record like ffs how do you top this

I’ve seen a few of his flicks and they’re all hard. He was one of the first British directors to make that real grimy s*** .

all Albini is hard but Terraform is his masterpiece imo

The mixes of the Neurosis records you worked on — I noticed they don't have that 'LA' radio competition compression sound. Your mixes can be played loudly without having to turn them down.

Well, that whole loudness excuse has been a thing for hacks for the last 30 years. Anytime anyone makes a s***ty record they say, "Well, they wanted it to be loud." I don't buy that at all. I think it's a load of crap. People have been compressing "commercial" music since the invention of the compressor. And people either credit that as being the reason records sound good or the reason records sound bad. I think that it sounds bad and I won't do it. There are some records that were made with a lot of compression where that has been sort of become incorporated into the style that you associate with that band or those records and it becomes invisible at that point. But whenever I've tried to put compression on a mix that I was working on, the one thing I've noticed about it is that it sounds worse. Not that it gets louder or whatever — I understand what people are doing. What they're doing is that they're raising the average volume or the apparent volume of a signal by limiting the peaks, and I understand that principle. I think that in the mastering stage, that can be done judiciously and transparently, but the kind of stuff that I hear now is just horrible and I'm just not into it. I've never been into it. People have used that as an excuse in the 1970s, and they used it as an excuse in the '80s and they used it as an excuse in the '90s — like, "Oh, we've got to make it compete on the radio." But it's a load of crap. People just compress records because they think that they should. If you listen to a compressed signal and you listen to an uncompressed signal, the compressed one sounds worse. I just don't understand why people are willing to make that horrible compromise.
:datass:

Also whenever I hear someone say "hacks" I think of Fidelio

somebody needs to create a “Le wrong generation youtube comments” hall of fame

he’s right, compression is one of the worst audio techniques invented lmao

tbh i’m not sure i’ve heard that one

it opens with a 12 minute drone jam

Hell yeah lol

Thoughts on antifa getting labeled as terrorists? :kendricklaff:

Trump gasing crowds so he can visit a cathedral is literally some Joffrey s*** lol

Trump is now approaching fascist mode. Always found that to be hyperbole but he's getting there. Then again, let's see what he'll actually do.

We seen what he actually does when he decided to shut off the White House lights and go hide in an underground bunker while the entire nation was rioting and looting

It’s bad, they’re not a real organization. They’re decentralized, it will now be an excuse for the government to round up anyone who calls themselves anti fascist. I still agree with Chomsky tho that all they’ve ended up accomplishing is servicing the right. They’re now just a new boogeyman for them to take out their frustrations on.

New Strokes in my top 5 this year

Agreed. I still wouldn’t go that far yet because it’s usually an unhelpful comparison that muddies the waters of past American presidencies that have committed atrocities and exerted unnecessary power but we’ll see how this plays out.

Same but I also haven’t listened to a lot of new stuff this year

Fiona
Weeknd
Krule
Yves
070

I’d check out all their new albums
