Frank Iero: "When I was 12 years old I got Nirvana's In Utero for Christmas. By this time I had already considered myself to be a serious music fan; I even had a few pretty good punk records. But when I put In Utero on and heard the tones Steve Albini and the band had captured, it was like my ears had finally woken up and were hearing music for the very first time. From that day it became a goal of mine to be in a band and record with Steve. In Utero is still one of my favorite records of all time, and here is a playlist of some other songs Steve worked on that I happen to love and listened to relentlessly while driving out to record with him in Chicago last month. xofrnk"
