All it is is your typical 90s hardcore album with generic vocals and "eclectic" parts amateurishly incorporated into the music (which is apparently supposed to make it "artsy" and "creative"). If you genuinely enjoy The Shape of Punk to Come, then that's perfectly fine, but don't pretend it's this significant and revolutionary release that so many people make it out to be... because it's not.

Also... I get this feeling that people think that by naming the album after one of the most important jazz albums of the 50s that it somehow makes it more "prophetic" and "avant-garde."

My response:

Alright... my pretentious rant is done for today... Stay tuned next week where I complain about how horrible I think Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion is...
i do quite enjoy The Shape of Punk To Come - i don't see any "revolutionary" elements but i did enjoy all that screaming

Merriweather Post Pavillion is fine, it's Strawberry Jam that I have problems with
