As jackhammer said, the electronic influence that Refused brought to the genre was something quite unique after nearly 20 years of bands sticking the the same old "pure" guitar-bass-drums instrument lineup. And I have yet to hear a hardcore album which came before it that is as loud, crazy, or adventurous.
