Every time one of the songs from "Tell the Kids the Cops Are Here" pops up  
in my ipod I get this supreme nostalgia for summer 2002 (why I'll never know,  
that wasn't a great summer for me). Either way I'd venture to say that placing 
 it as my #6 album of that year was probably not good enough; if I 
reevaluated  that list then it would almost certainly be higher today. Plus it's a 
NotLame  disc! Absolutely, totally, completely buy it, and if you love it buy 
"Pilot  County Suite" which is a brand new single (though it's an 11-minute suite)  
backed with like 10 rarities from the sessions from that album and the one  
before. It's a great pick for someone looking for something pitched about  
halfway between the first Fountains of Wayne album and the dB's "The Sound of  
Music" --Jason
