Sad day. He was amazing - look at the artists he’s worked with and produced albums for. Everyone from Sun O))) to Nirvana to Neurosis. He shaped a generation of album sound.

Wow, never actually knew he worked with Sunn O)))
Oh man, he worked with the Pixies. I knew his name but not much else. Anyone associated with the Pixies is cool in my book. And the Lemur tshirt cements his place in history.
It’s why Nirvana wanted him so badly (and eventually got him for In Utero)
Damn. This one hurts. 1000 times.
So many good memories of his music. It introduced me to industrial in the early 90’s. This just means that the artists of my generation are starting to pass. I’m sad.
There is nothing wrong with sticking to one’s convictions.
in the early '90s*
I'm sure my roommate and I wore out his copy of Songs About Fucking when it came out.
When I was about to go into high school I wanted to learn about cool music that wasn't just the classic rock my dad was into or top 40 pop music. I knew Pixies were cool because Kurt Cobain said they were cool and I liked Fight Club so I downloaded a copy of Surfer Rosa. That shit changed my life. It was so foundational to my tastes and opened up a whole world of independent music to me. Cloud Nothing's Attack on Memory was a big deal for me too... I'm gonna miss the dude. Thanks Albini, you made some cool music.
He was my friend. He was a mensch.
I loved him and I'm so happy you folks here on Lemmy loved him too. I love you.
Get out and do something. Stay in and do something. Do something.
I bet the RIAA had him whacked. He knew too much.
Rumor has it he knew something from Boeing
Woah
Aside from everything else, he knew how to record a drum kit which is more than several "big name" producers can muster.
