First off, Albini is entitled to his opinion, I like his producing, just don’t always agree w/ his opinions. What’s great about power pop is that the torch is still being carried by many who were approached for the article, check out:

Yo La Tengo- Drug Test
Spoon- Beast & Dragon Adored or Anything You Want
Art Brut- Emily Kane
I think are the current reigning power pop group-
New Pornographers- Twin Cinema or Broken Beads or my favorite song of the year so far, A.C. Newman’s There Are Maybe 10 or 12….

Oh of course, The Nazz song ‘Open My Eyes’ could also be the Best Ever Power Pop song as well, in my opinion.

Albini is a pretentious twat. He is the very epitome of everything he rails against.

That said, he has a point about labels such as “power pop.” But he’s still an ass.

How do the Shoes or Twilley instill profound hatred in anyone? That man has a (big) black heart.
