Released in 1998, yet still far beyond its years. "The Shape Of Punk.." is one of the few albums, from any time frame, that still today can stand its ground next to any modern hardcore punk album. 12 years ago this album came out, and Refused called it a day right after. Mainly cause of a dislike for each other in the band, and the toll the road had taken on the band. If this album and its results, are the product of hate amongst band members, id gladly be apart of it. I cant say enough good things about this record, its quality, the songs, and the impact it has had on me, and many of my friends. The problem with this record though, is its lost on the younger generation of people coming up in the music world. Which is a shame cause this is a classic for everyone to hear. If you have never heard this take the time, youll be doing yourself a big favor.

I completely agree that it's lost on the youth. One of the most essential albums of our time.
