Steve Albini tracks

Blind Confusion

Paralysis
Blister On My Soul
Missing Cleveland


Thoughts?  I thought he added his trademark 'drum' sound, especially on Paralysis.  He's also known for lowering the vocal mix which is certanily true on these tracks.  Blister on my soul is my favorite from this bunch, but the 'sound' on these don't differ much from the rest of HIG.

There are also a few additional tracks they recorded with Albini that haven't been released including At The Prison.

my least favorites.  Albini gets some interesting sounds, but he needs someone to come in and do the mixing for him.

How did these two come to work with each other?  It seems like an odd pairing.  You can't really blame Albini for his muddled production, since Scott and Doug did the same thing with the rest of the album.  The production on 12BB is amazing.  Happy, not so much.  And that is sad...

LOL.  That one is one of my least favorites.  Like the verses, hate the chorus.  I love the other 4 Albini tracks though.
