How the hell can you hate Brian Eno?
Anyway, Albini considered himself an engineer who would use his knowledge to help a band get the sound they're looking for. Eno is more of a collaborator who often added creative input. He definitely deserves credit for a lot of the records he produced sounding like they do.
I'm glad to see all of the tributes to Albini from artists he worked with. He had strong opinions about certain things that could rub people the wrong way, but he was well-liked.
He'll definitely be missed a lot more than Rex ####ing Murphy.
