Sorry for Party Rocking

Sorry for Party Rocking is the second full-length studio album by LMFAO, it was released June 21, 2011 physically and digitally by Interscope Records. "Party Rock Anthem" was the first single released from the album.

Critical reception

So far, "Sorry for Party Rocking" has received mixed reviews. Josh Bush from Allmusic gave it a favorable review, awarding it three and a half out of five stars. He said "Although the duo LMFAO boasted Euro-pop synths and unmissable riffs well before their hit with David Guetta, "Gettin' Over You," it definitely didn't hurt to be featured on a world-wide smash that spent quality time at number one in France and the U.K. Their second album, Sorry for Party Rocking, arrives at exactly the right time and includes exactly the right mix of energy and humor, plus a surprising amount of sincerity." They highlighted "Sorry for Party Rocking", "Party Rock Anthem" and "Champagne Showers".

Billboard had said prior to the promotion "LMFAO is, of course, not "Sorry For Party Rocking." But the dance duo's sophomore album is "more refined" and more experimental than its 2009 debut, "Party Rock."

However, some negative feedback have come in about their personal rapping and dance beats through the album. Entertainment Weekly gave it a negative review saying "It's topped off by truly terrible rapping, which often turns otherwise groan-inspiring instrumentals into jumbled, maddening filler." The Rolling Stone gave it two stars out of five. They did have a good compliment saying "MC-DJs Redfoo and Sky Blu turn in some skillful hip-hop", but they also said "but also get seriously stupid, rapping about spanking girls and bathing in champagne, over a cheesy pastiche of Eighties synths and pounding beats."
