Cop is the second album by the No Wave band Swans.
On Cop, Swans took the style of their previous LP, 1983's Filth, and intensified it, utilising slower tempos, more tape loops, and even more abrasive musical textures.
It was remastered by Michael Gira in 1992 for release on CD along with the Young God EP. The packaging for the reissue states that the recording is "designed to be played at maximum volume".
