Even though this was the last cd that refused put out it was there best one they have. The cd makes you realise that socitey today has become so corupt the only way it's gonna change is by a revelution. The shape of punk to come is one of the best cd's for listing purposes because it has it politcal views and loud cords

I have been listening to this cd on repeat for months now and I am nowhere near being tired of it yet. Even if you don't normally like this kind of music you will still love this album.

If you're not a fan of hardcore music, you will be, after listening to this masterpiece. "A Shape of Punk to Come" is one of those albums thats takes everything you know about music, twists it inside out, and slams it far back in your skull. Combining old school hardcore punk riffs, pounding sporadic drumbeats, and glittered with industrial and techno bursts of fury, this disc is about revolution. Everythign about these songs will inspire you, whether to create, expand your knowledge of the content, or to....what am I doing, writing a real review? Listen to this cd! Buy this CD! Refused has to be one of the most underrated bands ever. "A Shape of Punk to Come" certainly has to be the most underatted album ever.

This is one the best albums I have heard, ever. The loud, fast guitars and screeching voices are music to my ears, both literally and figuratively. This is what thrash punk/metal bands should aspire to be. It's to the point, it's great music, and a MUST-BUY

I was never a fan of hardcore punk until I heard this album. It is my favorite album by my favorite group and I never get tired of listening to this masterpiece.

In all honesty, one of the best albums from cover to cover. Just absolutely amazing.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoProbably the most original and progressive punk album i've ever heard. Refused really push the boundaries of punk music - this is more than just an album, it's a masterpiece. Like a lot of people when i first heard it, i wasn't that impressed, but after a few more listens, i couldn't stop listening to it - amazing!
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoSuperb
An absolutely scorching album that is inventive, inspring and utterly brutal from start to finish.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoOne Of The Greatest Records of All Time
I had to re-review this album, as my old one does it no justice. This one of the single greatest pieces of music ever assembled. Refused was one of the greatest bands of all time, surpassed only by thier lead singer's new project, the greatest live band of all time, The (International) Noise Conspiracy. The Shape Of Punk To Come is a great record from every angle, not a single filler track on the whole thing, it's pure genius. Every band should be this talented.

Was blown away by the "New Noise" video played on MTV2. Now this is music. Loud, Angry, Experimental, and very Hardcore. Somewhat different than their other releases, but Refused were definately growing creatively. Too bad they broke up after this cd. Still, crank it up and stand back!
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoThe best album ever??!?!?!
No, I don't think so. But it is an amazing one, with rapid tempo changes, techno flourishes, noise fests, fiercy felt anarchistic rantings, and furiously loud performances. Too bad they broke up. :(
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoThe Messiah Has Arrived
Finally, the festering cesspool that hardcore has become has found a new leader. "Shape of Punk to Come" shows that hardcore can retain its dignity, be creative and inclusive without resorting to being a thrash/metal cliche'. Refused show that with a little innovation, hardcore can be both explosive and subtle. The musicianship is first-rate, allowing each song to develop its own extreme dynamics. From the whispers to the screams, from the distorted "Sonic Youth" style guitars to the jazziest elements and techno fills, this record succeeds on every level. Follow your leader, hardcore.
Was this review helpful? Yes - Nobeyond punk
I thought the title was arrogant, but after listening, i think its modest. Pissed, political, educated, truely pushes the limits of not just punk, but music. The range of musical styles fused into the punk was genious. There are more musical explosions on this album than any other ive heard. The skill of the musicains and the way the album was mixed makes for an ultimate hard punk experience years ahead of its time. This is the shape of punk to come 10 years from now. Dont drive with Refused if your prone to road rage!
Was this review helpful? Yes - Nothe next great band?
a combination of a singer that really can, a drummer that puts all to shame and some of the best noise made by stringed instruments, the shape of punk to come is not only the best album of 1998, but also 1999 and (so far) 2000. with the recent success of 'the new noise' single, they are finally getting the recognition they deserve.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoQuality hardcore/punk noise
I hated this at first but after a few listens it totally shines. I love the heavy vocals,
