It is really fuckin good. It's mostly just standard Refused-style hardcore punk, but it has little electronic snippets thrown in here and there, and then there is one song on there that a bit of departure for them, called New Noise (which they even made a video for), and I fuckin LOVE that song. It's a really cool concept, they're basically saying that like anything else, punk has to evolve to continue to push boundaries or it will stagnate until its irrelevant.

what's the deal with this album?

seriously, a brilliant album that you should at least listen to at least once. the songwriting is very creative and dynamic and the album was actually written as an ALBUM, so the record flows quite nicely from song to song. For me, this is one of those records that I listen to from start to finish any time I put it on.

a punk band referencing an Ornette Coleman album (The Shape of Jazz to Come)? come the fuck on. that's awesome.

There's even jazz breaks in a couple different songs on the record... and not cheesy half-assed ones either. Full blown transition from balls out rock to upright bass, a syncopated jazz swing beat and a bit of a poetry session.

part of me never even wants to hear this album because it'll probably ruin it for me. actually i think it's already been ruined.

Why has it already been ruined. You make my heart sad.
