For as prescient as the Shape of Punk to Come was about the future of heavy music, theres still nothing and there never will be anything that sounds quite like it. Blending diffuse genres like jazz, techno and post-punk with blistering post-hardcore that alternated between chuggy and anthemic, this ingenious sonic concept album from Swedens finest is a masterclass in genre ecleticism and a potent piece of cultural criticism that sounds every bit as relevant today as it did in 1998.
