>tfw you realize The Shape of Punk to Come isn't even the best Refused album
>>130640907WHAT?!
>>130640907>Refused>punk
>>130640907I remember downloading The Shape of Punk to Come because the title sounded so badass and then I listened to it and it was just gay Swedish MTV-core over-produced elevated numetal.
>>130640907But was it the shape of punk to come though?
>>130640907Never got the hype about them, especially not after listening to Breach from similar time and place, just a whole lot better.

>>130641068no it was a 3rd rate The Nation of Ulysses
>>130640907Never listened to anything by them desu.
You can take your pick between very mediocre hardcore albums or the mediocre post-hardcore album. It's pretty clear though that Shape of Punk to Come was where their songs resonated much more.

>>130641439Refused ripped off NOU, International Sound Conspiracy ripped off Make-Up.
>>130645439>Refused ripped off NOUNot musically.
>>130641040>gay Swedish MTV-core over-produced elevated numetal.initially they were a real hardcore band, not industry plants, so it felt pretty fresh. i admit it probably sounds super gay in retrospect."international noise conspiracy" was even worse (saw them live twice)
>>130641439this.everybody was pretending to be a big revolutionary into Guy Debord and situationist BS back then (including me)
>>130646401>"international noise conspiracy" was even worse (saw them live twice)I saw them live once looking to fuck the chick in the band but she'd already left by then
