05. The Jesus Lizard - 'Goat' (1991). Albini worked with these Chicago-via-Texas angular-stomp masters throughout their surprisingly long career. But their sophomore album is where the team's drooling, violent attack found its truest expression. Albini knew that the Jesus Lizard's power lay in the tension between David Yow's unhinged neanderthal act and the crushing precision of the rhythm section, and he makes sure we feel each garbled screech and bass-thud in the pit of our souls.
