1000 Hurts is my personal favorite. "Squirrel Song" goes hard while also being bizarrely funny. I want to make a movie where the characters get attacked by squirrels just so I can put this song in there.
Excluding the first bunch of singles/EPs is absolutely criminal. 25 to 30% of their best songs are on things that came out before At Action Park. Wingwalker, Rambler Song etc holy fuck!
Totally agree. So much gold outside of their LPs. Killers from the Lounge Axe comp, Doris, Wingwalker, The Guy Who Invented Fire... all great songs. But especially The Billiard Player Song, my all time favorite Shellac tune.
@everyalbumever idk you guys know this but I heard somewhere that the track list of terraform is supposed to be a concept of an album in reverse. I think this makes the most sense because of how this album is paced like didn’t we deserve being more like a closer, and on the opposite side copper being more like an opener, and the very beginning of rush job having the same bass line as house full of garbage. A fun fact that I think will give you a better look on the album especially you Mike.
Using the brief ZZ Top to sludge reference as an excuse to request an every album ever for the band Harvey Milk! I feel like you guys probably if you know them but if somehow not, they are imo the best sludge metal band to ever exist and if I remember correctly they have an entire release of ZZ Top covers! Their song I Did Not Call Out is my favorite sludge metal song of all time ❤
Proud to share my hometown with Steve. We even went to the same high school… just 40 years apart. I’m calling To All Trains “My totally biased album of the year” haha. Great episode as always guys. R.I.P. Albini
Still not sure if it was his last, but it was definitely one of his last. www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/interviews/i-wanted-it-to-be-for-keeps-an-oral-history-of-shellac
It was coincidence that action park NJ fit neatly into Albinis sense of humor and irony. He confessed in interview that it really had no influence in the album concept ad perfect as it would have been. So unfortunately that will just be folklore 😢

its about time
New Chat Pile single and preorder is up. Shit is nuts as expected.
Just saw but haven't heard yet. So excited.
Well fuck. Thanks for the memories Steve. And thanks for the channel guys.
The amount of nasty conspiracy people that came out to comment about Steve's untimely death honestly pissed me off.

This just blew my mind, really curious to try it out.
Fuck 😢 RIP Steve Albini
RIP Steve
Now I hope they release an outtakes everything under the sun kind of album

R.I.P. Albini
fuck yes can’t wait
The futurist is so underrated, one of my favorites if not my favorite, one of their weirdest releases
Wingwalker is the best introduction to Shellac….That’s how I was inteoduced
At Action Park is in top 3 90's records. Change my mind.
I refuse to change your mind.
i cant find that last interview of him...can you post a link to it
Still not sure if it was his last, but it was definitely one of his last.

I like the long episodes
Why the hate for Canada from Terraform? One of my favorite songs from the album
