Nation of Ulysses come to mind as a band who did it before them, sure not with a lot of the electronics or what not... but still the style was there.

I like Refused, but I do not get the hype they receive still. I found the majority of "Shape..." to be rather boring. Had a great single in "New Noise" and the rest was just alright.
I really liked their first album, not that mad on the second which was too close to metal (they do punk much better) Their third which is seen as their masterpiece, I'm not sure what I think of it after just one listen.

Shape of Punk to Come has got to be my favorite punk album, but that's because I'm a hack and don't know anything about punk!

I'm giving it a second listen, All Music call it probably the greatest punk album of all time.

Personally I think its a great album and was really impressed, but of course I can't compare it to some of the other bands that have been mentioned as I don't know them.
