Heart Shaped Box (Original Steve Albini 1993 Mix)

RIP Steve Albini your recordings with Nirvana will forever be legendary💙🫂😢

i like how albini treats the vocals as just another instrument. In todays radio music the vocals are three times higher than the rest of the band.

Goodbye, Albini, you god of sound and legend of my youth 🖤🖤🖤

RIP Steve…you taught us recording engineers a lot. Will always be grateful for that.

RIP Albini. Another legend left us today.

The dynamics in this version are 🔥

R. I. P. Steve Albini, you were a genius

no one should mess with albini's work

R.I.P. Steve. 61 may have been far too young but one has to take into consideration he lived three lifetimes, one as the founder of three influential post-hardcore bands, another as an extremely talented and innovative audio engineer with a couple of thousand albums to his name, and one as an all around great guy with an infectious sense if humor.

Forever in debt to your priceless advice.

RIP Steve Albini mass market was not ready for you

RIP Steve Albini. You engineered without a doubt the best Nirvana album.

RIP Steve Albini. Playing this today. What a guy. His mixes were always awesome!

Bloody diabolical.

I like how smooth it sounds and then how angry the beat gets , like “ HEY ! WAIT ! “

The ending was so perfect

i LOVE how u can hear Dave's drumming at the end so clear its fucking awesome

Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Kurt Cobain did a nice job putting this song together. 👍❤

This mix sounds much better than the CD one, but I understand why they re-mixed it. Radio stations use heavy compressors and if you give them something with this much dynamic range it will get squashed to oblivion. There was a radio station that would play local bands late on Sunday nights, when they played my band I was so surprised at how horribly squashed it sounded. If you compress your audio before the radio stations do you can minimize their compensation. Years later I was in a recording studio and someone was talking about how they hated compression and the engineer said "you're better off compressing yourself where you have some control because you won't like what the radio stations will do" and I remembered how that exactly happened to me once.

RIP Steve Albini
