This is particularly crucial for The Shape of Punk to Come because of how it was recorded. In an era when digital recording was becoming the norm, Refused and their producers, Eskil Lövström and Pelle Henricsson, opted for an analog approach. As producer Pelle Henricsson later explained, "We did not use Pro Tools at all. The Shape was recorded on 24 track 2 inch tape". The drums were recorded as grooves and then manually edited without a grid reference, giving the rhythm section a unique, human feel that is often lost in modern, quantized productions.
