...and the dvd 'refused is fucking dead' is really well-made and intriguing.
totally classique
pity that dennis guy's sort of lost the plot. amusing about him being voted sweden's hottest man though. haha

Kinda amazed at the original posts on this thread in retrospective context. "Kickstarter CEO and RBMA Music Editor Celebrate Swedish Punks."

Song sounds fun to me. I like the cover, too:

Refused should return to being fucking dead imo.

The clean vocals are terrible, bunch of post-nu-metal nonsense, but even when you strip those away it's such a huge retread down to a couple of herky jerky stop start riffs that might as well have been sampled from the last album. Hopefully the rest of the album is less reunion tour and more interesting.

vocals really bumming me out too

I really like the song, don't mind the vocals too much, kinda remind me of The International Noise Conspiracy, Dennis' band right after Refused.

this song is a blast imo. produced by shellback!

are the International Noise Conspiracy dead? kinda liked his vocals for that band better than in Refused

I only made it through the first half so far, but the new one (War Music) might be even worse.

But maybe it gets better in the second half? Lots of really positive reviews out there.
