Albini was born in <a href="/wiki/Pasadena,_California" title="Pasadena, California">Pasadena, California</a>, and raised in <a href="/wiki/Missoula,_Montana" title="Missoula, Montana">Missoula,

After discovering the <a href="/wiki/Ramones" title="Ramones">Ramones</a> as a teenager, he immersed himself in <a href="/wiki/Punk_rock" title="Punk rock">punk rock</a> and <a href="/wiki/Underground_culture" title="Underground culture">underground culture</a>. He earned a degree in journalism at <a href="/wiki/Northwestern_University" title="Northwestern University">Northwestern University</a>, Illinois, and wrote for local <a href="/wiki/Zine" title="Zine">zines</a> in Chicago. He formed Big Black in 1981 and recruited <a href="/wiki/Santiago_Durango" title="Santiago Durango">Santiago Durango</a> and <a href="/wiki/Dave_Riley" title="Dave Riley">Dave Riley</a>. Big Black attracted a considerable following, releasing two albums and four EPs. In 1987 he formed the controversially named band Rapeman with <a href="/wiki/David_Wm._Sims" title="David Wm. Sims">David Wm. Sims</a> and <a href="/wiki/Rey_Washam" title="Rey Washam">Rey Washam</a>, releasing one album and one EP in 1988. He formed Shellac with <a href="/wiki/Bob_Weston" title="Bob Weston">Bob Weston</a> and <a href="/wiki/Todd_Trainer" title="Todd Trainer">Todd Trainer</a> in 1992, with whom he released several albums, including <a href="/wiki/At_Action_Park" title="At Action Park">At Action Park</a> (1994) and <a href="/wiki/1000_Hurts" title="1000 Hurts">1000 Hurts</a> (2000); <a href="/wiki/To_All_Trains" title="To All Trains">To All Trains</a> was released ten days after his death. After Big Black's dissolution, Albini became a highly sought after recording engineer, rejecting the term "<a href="/wiki/Record_producer" title="Record producer">record producer</a>". He recorded several thousand records during his career, collaborating with notable acts such as <a href="/wiki/The_Breeders" title="The Breeders">the Breeders</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Jesus_Lizard" title="The Jesus Lizard">the Jesus Lizard</a>, <a href="/wiki/Page_and_Plant" title="Page and Plant">Page and Plant</a>, <a href="/wiki/Godspeed_You!_Black_Emperor" title="Godspeed You!

He refused to take royalties on albums he worked on, operating fee-only. He founded the Chicago recording studio <a href="/wiki/Electrical_Audio" title="Electrical Audio">Electrical Audio</a> in 1997, dedicated to recording a sharp live sound at a cheap price. Noted for his outspoken and blunt opinions, Albini was critical of local punk scenes and the music industry, which he viewed as exploitative of artists. He was an adherent to <a href="/wiki/Analog_recording" title="Analog recording">analog recording</a>, and praised the increasing independence in music resulted by the internet. He was also infamous for authoring <a href="/wiki/Transgressive_art" title="Transgressive art">transgressive art</a> as a reaction to people taking artistic compromises; Albini expressed regret for this past mindset in his final years.
