专辑介绍
Sorry to Bother You is the sixth album by political hip hop group The Coup, which was released on October 30, 2012, on ANTI-. It's the group's first album where no samples are being used and all tracks are made by live instrumentation. It debuted at #194 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling about 2000 copies in the first week. At Metacritic it received an average score of 80, which indicates &generally favorable acclaim&, based on 15 reviews. PopMatters named it the year's fifth best hip hop album in its year-end list and commented that it &just might stump The Powers That Be, to the point that even the “one-percent” will want to dance to it&. Four tracks off the album have been released as official videos including first single The Magic Clap, Land Of 7 Billion Dances, The Guillotine and Your Parents' Cocaine. (wiki)

During the six years between Pick a Bigger Weapon and Sorry to Bother You, the Coup survived a disastrous bus crash. Leader Boots Riley aligned with Tom Morello as Street Sweeper Social Club, and he also toured with Galactic. More significantly, Riley became a driving force in the Occupy Oakland movement -- something that could have fueled an album's worth of ideas. Instead, Sorry to Bother You draws inspiration from Riley's past as a telemarketer. It's presented as a soundtrack to &a dark comedy with magical realism.& There are enough guest stars joining Riley, Pam the Funkstress, Silk-E, studio comrade Damion Gallegos, and the band's instrumentalists to give it the feel of a funk-rap-rock opera. Lyrically, however, it's a typical Coup album in the best possible way. Riley's incisive, anti-capitalist rhymes and animated vocals are as energizing as ever, alternately intoxicating and sobering without wavering in force. Without being told, a longtime Coup fan wouldn't be able to discern the words' function as soundtrack material. Riley maintains hot-blooded realism and dips into slightly out-of-character fantasticism only for the oddball chamber agitprop of &We've Got a Lot to Teach You, Cassius Green.& A change of approach is instantly detectable in the music, which is often closer to assaultive and muscular new wave than the laid-back, bottom-heavy synth funk that runs through Pick a Bigger Weapon. According to Riley, that's just the way it played out. It might take some time for older fans to adjust -- its punk energy aims for the calves more frequently than the neck -- but Sorry to Bother You contains some of the Coup's most vehement and focused output.
