made me want to listen to the album!

I like the letter but after listening to the album again thought it was pretty bass light. All I can really hear is bass drum where the bass guitar should be.

I really love Albini's approach to producing albums. Also you can read his diatribe on the music industry as a whole here, entitled "The problem with music"

Cool.

[Lord Sausage]

He did the Plant and Page album Walking into Clarksdale which is exceptional and sounds nothing like In Utero, so he ain't talkin bullshit in his letter.

[Norris]

Excellent

[Ruiner]

Interesting podcast interview here where he talks about the letter and recording In Utero amongst other things:

He is definitely the chap for he job.

interesting letter! the band were unhappy with the finished result though i seem to recall?

[Ruiner]

Three tracks were remixed by Scott Litt, two of which were chosen over the Albini versions for the album, alledgedly at the bands request. Apparently Krist has gone on record saying that they wanted them to sound more accesible for the radio. Whether or not that was due to label pressure I guess we will never know.

He then went on to produce the worst Nirvana album.

[Lord Sausage]

They were over rated anyway. You hear they were unhappy with Nevermind being re mixed before release saying it wasn't punk. Then they say how they are pop and then moan when they get an albini punk record. miserable twats!

[scalpy]

Great letter, and I loved the record. Starts with Serve the Servants, later goes from Tourettes to All Apologies. The sound of Sixth Form.

That makes me feel pretty content with playing in a covers band and walking away with money in my pocket at the end of each gig.

Excellent letter, he is the epitome of cool. I saw him support Sonic Youth many years ago in some poorly named band who were good despite their name.
