The Coup - S/D

Liked Kill My Landlord back in the day but haven't heard much since then. Just read an interview with Boots Reilly in the new Tape Op and figured I'd investigate the newer stuff - I know there's been at least three since KML. Anybody wanna lead me in the right direction?

Repo Man is still one of my favorite songs ever

Besides KML, I've only heard 'Steal This Album'--the one w/Repo Man. Some of the production seems a lil cheesy to me, but overall I think it's a pretty good album.

the production on 'Party Music' is cheesy too. I like the style a lot. Unfortunately I can't think of anything on 'Party Music' that really caught my ear- great album, though, with the right crowd.

It's all great, insightful and clever, especially "Steal This Album." Some of the production can sound cheesy, but don't let it get in the way of Boots' lyrics, which are in another league (a better one) compared to everyone else who has made a hip hop album in the past decade. "Party Music" was a little gizmo-heavy, but was still an excellent album. Revolver just reissued "Steal This Album" (as it has gone out of print like 4 times), and should be picked up and loved by everybody.

I was just wondering when they're gonna release new stuff, it's been 6 years since Pick a Bigger Weapon. Can't say I like the "rock band" sound on many of those songs, though, with live drums and guitars and shit. Boots has always had a good ear for funky West Coast synth riffs and drum machine loops, so it's sad to hear his collabs with the RAtM guitarist have lead to this.

Guillotine sounds like vitalic. There was an amazing mix of dizzee over vitalic back in the day -- wonder of boots was inspired by that?
