Coup de Theatre is the second studio album by American hip hop group Haiku D'Etat. It was released in 2004.

Critical reception

Dominic Umile of Prefix gave the album a 7 out of 10, saying, "Coup de Theatre, the second course, parts the sea of mediocre major-label nonsense with refreshingly mixed backgrounds and introspective, melodious and often humorous verse."[2] Steve Juon of RapReviews.com gave the album an 8 out of 10 and said, "With so many things going for Haiku D'Etat, it's almost hard to find fault with this album."[3]

Meanwhile, Chadwicked of Tiny Mix Tapes gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying, "Haiku D'Etat remains one of the most pleasurable combinations of performers in underground hip hop, but this sophomore effort won't receive the mutterings of 'classic' that the original did."[4]
