now, i suppose Steve Albini is a bit of a perfectionist, but that record is great and i'd definitely be proud if i made something like that.

okay, so my question is, when you guys make music, are you a complete perfectionist? do you keep coming back, changing this verse and that, making sure the production of the product is spot on or do you just let it all flow, not really giving a shit if the production is muddy or tame etc.?

this probably isn't thread-worthy but i am sort of interested in what you guys think.
Albini is a bit of a prick, I reckon. He makes good muic though and I like 99% of the albums he's produced. Atomizer is amazing. Passing Complexion alone is something to be extremely proud of.
