This was definitely a shocker I had not been expecting.

Not everyone was impressed by his approach: Nirvana hired REM’s producer Scott Litt to remix several tracks from In Utero, much to Albini’s disgust;
I've always thought the mighty drum sound at the beginning of this is equal parts Steve Albini / David Lovering.
If that was all he'd contributed to music, it'd be enough.
Really genuinely shocked by this.
Another absolute favourite tune I didn't know he did...
yeah - just saw that on fb. the stuff he comes out with is really, really vile. sickening stuff.oh dear, not quite as redeemed a character as we may have thought:
There are some things you can’t row back on. Ugh.Now That Steve Albini is Dead, Letâs Reflect on His Admitted Love (and Promotion) of Childâ¦
If you are reading this, then you probably have heard that the esteemed rock musician and producer Steve Albiniâââwho produced bands likeâ¦medium.com

I recall that from years ago, tho I had pushed it out of my mind. I have always taken it as part of his ‘fuck you and your bourgeoise sensibilities’. Not that much different to punks wearing swastikas to annoy their parents, or calling your band Rapeman.
I have yet to see anyone complaining about how he was really abusive to them, physically or really personally (saying Steely Dan are a bunch of cunts doesn’t count).
I agree. No matter how much you may like the guy’s work, there’s absolutely no justification for that behaviour, not even if you frame it as ‘epater les bourgeoisie’. That argument is just desperate clutching at straws to defend monstrous behaviour. I found that article so difficult to read. I’d been planning on listening to a load of Big Black and Jesus Lizard records last night but reading that was enough for me change my mind and delete the playlists.I don't think there's any way to defend the kind of child porn he was promoting. It was porn with toddlers being tortured and murdered and he said he got off on it. And he did it repeatedly and never changed his stance, still supporting his child pornographer friend. Yeah, he was never accused of abusing a child himself, but he made it clear that he thought it was fine if people did that so that he could get off on looking at pics of it.
There's no excuse and it's not "fuck you and your bourgeois sensibilities."
Loved 'Rid of Me'.
Didn't know about the child porn stuff.
Seen tweets about how he hated anyone not jabbed-up
Sounds like a right cunt.
Meh!

He tweeted about hating the unvaccinated.Hating anti vaxxers is the correct position. Child porn, less so.
