"Steve! These headphones are fucked up! It's only coming out of one side, like- Should I just bear with it or what? Shit, they're fucked.....Man, no wait. Please give us some new headphones." lolololololol

RIP Steve Albini. An alltime musical hero from the day I bought Big Black's Songs About Fucking on vinly when I was 16. I am now 50 and still have that record. Only the other day I was talking to my 16 year old about him and his production work with Pixies and Nirvana. Tweez sounds better than Spiderland. Gutted.

Very ahead of their time. This and Spiderland are some brilliant cult classics.

I first heard this in the summer of 1989, driving past a town called Weed off Highway 5 between San Francisco and Seattle. It had just been released and I have never forgotten it's totally unique sound. I still prefer it to Spiderland.

Post-punk-noisecore-neo-art rock is my favorite genre

Yeah, for sure. You should check out the documentary 'Bread Crumb Trail" about Slint, it goes into depth about all of these recordings. They were big fans of Steve Albini, which is why they wanted him to record it, but were really disappointed in this album because of his influence on the recording. Steve actually feels pretty bad about it now. They were literally children at the time of making Tweez, even Spiderland were insanely young. I still love Tweez and everything this band and it's members did afterwards.

As a fan of Big Black and Shellac its strange because it sounds kinda like a fusion of both, why I love this album

You Eric Lamar, Spiderland is just brilliant!! It's one thing to werite music that sounds different, it's another to write a whole album that gels like Spiderland does. As a muso it's really different and rewarding to learn those many harmonics and alternate timings. Tweez is great but if Slint is mentioned ever in like 20 years it will be in the same breath as "Spiderland" - as has been the case thus far. All things said, I realize you are prolly taking the mickey. And your faves are your faves.

Others include Goat by the Jesus Lizard, Pod by the Breeders, Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey, an album for Page and Plant, and most recently Ty Segall's self titled. There is a wikipedia article of all the credited albums he has engineered, although he does not like being credited on albums, (especially not as "producer") so I would doubt many albums are listed.

in a sense slint has a similar atheistic and playing style, obviously they are in different genres but I can see where your coming from.. burzum is definitely more realistically 'spooky,' but slint is lyrically and psychologically way more 'spooky' then burzum. that cold, isolated, loose, yet powerful feeling you get from burzum is reminiscent in slint as well. Black and white visuals, heavy symbol use, and a very repetitive structure in both of the bands music, while also using heavy distortion to break up their traditional roots; id say they actually have a good amount in common.
