"I got a bone to pick with capitalism and a few to break
Grab us by the throat and shake the life away
Human life is not commodity, figures, statistics or make believe!"

The opening verse of the first song of this album pretty much gives you an idea of what to expect from Refused; angry-as-fuck, anti-capitalist Hardcore Punk. The Shape of Punk to Come certainly gives you that, it has all the left wing pretenses and pounding energy you'd expect, while being more experimental and daring than their earlier work. This is particularly obvious with cases such as the Ambient "Bruitist Pome #5" and atmospheric Electronic break near the end of "New Noise". The album also displays a plethora of particularly awesome basslines. Enjoy.
