From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cop is the second album by the No Wave band Swans. The album is considered to be an improvement on their previous LP, Filth. It is most often described musically as "heavy metal in slow motion". Its most infamous song is probably the title song, which some consider more vitriolic than even Body Count's "Cop Killer", although the subject in the former's case is metaphorical.
Henry Rollins has mentioned an ironic incident involving the title song in several spoken-word performances.
