Both Steve Albini and Walter Sear (also fairly vocal!) are simply expressing their opinions based on their own (considerable) experience.
However, I don't really think it's wise to try and assess their opinions' worth simply by the record sales / success they have had in the past. Better to actually listen to what they have to say and draw what you can from it.
I don't feel for a moment that I have to agree with everything they say - what works for one person or is important to him/her doesn't necessarily translate to everyone else.
