I said I hate it, well I don't hate it I just think it is 1/10th as good as everyone says and that their are far more important and influencial punk albums.

I'VE GOT A BONEEE TO PICK WITH CAPITALISM



i don't know his delivery is nice but that lyric is the gayest way to open an album(excuse the rhetoric, but it felt appropriate).

Album Rating: 4.0

That Capitalism is organized crime.

Album Rating: 3.5

as is socialism and most other forms of running a country. every system involves coercion.



but i mean regardless as much as i appreciate the sentiment, the way the vocalist expresses it is so shallow, the lyric might as well be "capitalism is evil! fuck capitalism!"

Album Rating: 5.0

It has that energy though.



Let's not turn this into a capitalism versus socialism debate. However I must raise the question as to why Refused had complaints regarding capitalism when Sweden is one of the most socialistic (albeit more of a socialist-leaning market system) countries in the world. Who knows.

Album Rating: 3.5

probably cause he's anti-market entirely



"human life is not a commodity" and whatnot. I don't think he's against poor wages and shitty conditions per se, but rather hes against wage labor in general.

That's just silly.

Album Rating: 2.0

pretty sure the lyrics are just empty posturing, i wouldn't read too much into them

Album Rating: 3.5

I agree that it's silly, but it's a common and respected philosophy. That means he's either total government control of all capital and resources or he's what's commonly referred to as a "libertarian socialist", in which he supports worker's direct expropriation of capital.

Album Rating: 5.0

The lyrics are great and mostly compassionate. I agree with the core of what he's saying even if not nearly at as a radical point.



There's so many anthemic lines here.

Album Rating: 5.0

Libertarian socialism is quite interesting but it's about as realistic as laissez-faire capitalism that works out for everyone.

Communism ftw.

Album Rating: 4.0

Communism would only work if Jesus was the leader.

new noise makes me want to 5 this all by itself

"It could be dangerous. Art...as a real threat."



"The destruction of everything is the beginning of something new. Your new world is on fi-yerrrrrrr....."



It's all very romantic. Upped to a 5 again - Tannhauser/Derive and New Noise are the highlights for me.

Album Rating: 4.5

My favorite song is either The Deadly Rhythm or The Shape of Punk to Come. I don't know, so hard to decide, all of it's perfect.

Album Rating: 4.5

They told me the classics would never go out of style...but they do.





Fortunately, Refused are beyond style altogether. Love this album. Heard New Noise when I was 7 and it blew me away.

Album Rating: 4.5

I really like the riff in Refused are Fuckin Dead. But every song is awesome, of course.
