Title: Great live, terrible on record!
Product review: Shellac is a great LIVE band, but on vinyl, except for the first singles, they are absolute crap!-The folks here that give this "art piece" 5 stars are just Albini A** kissers, is all! Great engineer, no doubt, but most anything post Big Black or Rapeman, his MUSIC just doesn't translate on recorded media! More like a "fart piece" because it falls flat like one. The only good song here is "The Admiral", & it was on one of their singles. Albini should just stick to playing live, and quit recording his music, it'll give him the most unique "indie cred" anyone could ever enjoy! What a waste of vinyl, of which he & I most truly love!The Only Good Recorded Shellac Songs List, in order, are:1. Doris2. Wingwalker3. Copper4. Prayer To God5. Rambler Song6. The Admiral7. XVI8. The Guy Who Invented Fire9. Steady As She Goes10. SpokeThat's IT!-now Steve, record these songs live, put it out as a "best of" comp, then retire from composing "sound" & just engineer it!
