mrewest Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Stupid post office needs a sig for some reason for my shipment. And I work the hours it's open. Boo. Hope my wife can snag it for me tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
problemchild Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Got my copy today and wow, I did not expect to like this record as much as I do. With the exception of a few cheesy parts (that damn 'exterminate the brutes' thing is still dumb), I absolutely love it. It's certainly no Shape of Punk..., but it drew me in much in the same way that record does. Also one of the best sounding records I've heard in a while. Both the mixing and the pressing were fantastically well done (I've got the black/gold EU variant). Certain parts just sound absolutely massive. I will say there are a few riffs and drum parts that seem copied and pasted right from Shape of Punk, but not in such a way that it takes away from the full piece of work. Overall, positively surprised and stoked on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I've listened to this album a quite a few times and honestly, I think it's pretty awesome. It might be a sin to say this, but I just got into Refused when a co-worker gave me tickets to go see them on their last tour. Not sure how I overlooked this band for so long. ASOPTC is still my favorite record of theirs, but I think the new record holds up to the rest of their catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Record is awesome record. I like it a lot too, also the EU variant looks and sounds amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I didn't realize we were getting a new (International) Noise Conspiracy album. That's cool. So I was right. Cool album. Not a great "Refused" album, but would definitely would make an awesome T(I)NC album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I spun my black/gold yesterday finally. Love the music, but am I the only one that thinks the pressing sounds shitty? My copy sounded compressed and real quiet compared to other albums I own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1876records Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 This Lambgoat review seems to align with my thoughts about the new record 100%. http://lambgoat.com/albums/3085/Refused-Freedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Ives Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'd quite like a gold/black if anyone has a spare/unwanted copy. I think it suits the artwork better than the other variants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'd quite like a gold/black if anyone has a spare/unwanted copy. I think it suits the artwork better than the other variants. But the music is still bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator Jr. Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I have a black/gold copy that I might be willing to let go at cost. I still don't know if I like it, but I'm gonna give it another week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iron666monkey Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 My black/gold arrived today. When I opened the package one of the corners was mashed, and then I noticed the record popping out of the top of the jacket. Sweet 4" seam split across the top of the jacket. The mailer they used was the shittiest/flimiest thing ever. Eh, what can you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdwell Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 managed to not listen to any streams of any songs or the album ahead of time (easy enough to do without a computer or spotify I suppose)....just spun the LP for the first time, not terribly impressed with the actual pressing (purple...I also need a new stylus though)....but I'm thoroughly enjoying this record. Sounds like Refused to me. There are some songs that seem to have a heavier Faith No More influence than others (not so much Red Hot Chili Peppers guys...come on with that shit). Plenty of T(i)NC thrown in which I anticipated. Lyrics are silly??? Yeah, have you listen to the Refused back catalog or T(i)NC back catalog lately? This is album is exactly what I expected it to be without reading reviews or any preconceptions goin into my listening experience. I'm actually surprised this many people aren't into this....

Derek™ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (not so much Red Hot Chili Peppers guys...come on with that shit) I don't know. To each his own, but there are some outright obnoxiously funky guitar and bass lines throughout the record. It's hard to take it seriously – much like RHCP's later work. Just my 2¢.
