Spoiler:
This is why I don't answer my phone.
I'm actually inclined to agree with you there; I think it's the same reason Kefka from Final Fantasy VI (who I thought was completely overrated as well) seems to be such a fan favourite, though I do think Albedo captures a sort of child like insanity like almost no other villain I've ever come across. I think Margulis is a way better villain though, and literally every villain in Xenogears has him beat pretty significantly.
How far into it are you out of curiosity? The entire series has been really plagued with censoring actually and I'd highly recommend watching the original uncensored Japanese cutscenes for some of the better and more important scenes; this one in particular paints a far more terrifying picture of Albedo than the censored English one in my opinion:
Better than the original
He does have a pretty badass theme as well.
