This album..bombastic. Unique. Groundbreakiing. Extraordinary. Raw. Boundary-breaking.
Hardcore and metal riffage, jazz breaks, electronic interludes, clean singing, harsh screams....I can't get enough of it. Truly the Shape of Punk to Come.
Anybody else dig on this? |

Botch's, We Are The Romans, is an album that is being ripped off to this day by the "whatever"-core scene. It truly could have been called the Shape of -Core to Come. |

Refused =  | Thanks, that's easily the first time I've gotten anything resembling a compliment here. I really appreciate it. |

Has anyone seen the DVD, "Refused are ****ing dead?" It's creepy. |

On a purely aesthetic level, it's also a pleasure to watch. Excellent cinematography and soundtrack. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
