That style most DEFINITELY wouldn't work for Albini, he doesn't do layering and over-dubs, he is more of a live-feed engineer, but conversely most engineers CAN'T do that live recording either, they prefer doing each part individually. I think THAT is the process that destroys albums. I wish Steve had recorded this Palms record.
Listen to the
record and listen to the the
stageshow. Such a world of difference. There was a certain chemistry and spontaneity which was lacking in the studio version. I feel similar about War Paint, their album is NOTHING compared to their stage show. Another classic Steve Albini candidate..
Its why I thank God and thank Shannon Wright that she was smart enough to use Steve to record Over the Sun, which sounds as close to her epic 2002-2005 stages shows as could be managed in a studio..
