For the first time. Damn I slept on this. It's great, front to back 10/10. I've of course heard New Noise, which is excellent, but never listened to the rest for some reason.

Were they communists or anarchists? Either way I now follow The Refused Party Program.

    One of my favorite records of all time, I'm always surprised when I meet people who know music but have never heard it.

    I've got a bone to pick with capitalism, and a few to break

    They're communists I think. I also think that New Noise isn't just about the hardcore scene, I think it's also about the western left

    we lack the motion to move to the new beat

    Anyway welcome to the listening party. Been listening to this for 20 years, and recently rediscovered my love for it when realizing how commie like every song is

    what frequency will liberation be?

      Such a stellar line.

      They mention an old Italian anarchist in one of the songs, so I thought they may be anarchists due to that. It was the one where they talk about '68 IIRC

      The instrumentation and genre mixing throughout is just so good.

      I really liked the lyrics and music for the last song too. A great end for the album.
