5 out of 5 stars American Tabloid Best Record of the Year.......2000-10-23

Kid Million have created a beautiful record with American Tabloid. The social commentary is intelligent and accurate, and the music rocks. I love "A Terrible Noise" and "Flew By", but all of the songs are great. An amazing record from one of the best bands around.
