'''''The Tyranny of Distance''''' is the second album by the [[Washington, D.C.]] [[rock (music)|rock]] band [[Ted Leo and the Pharmacists]], released in [[2001]] by [[Lookout! Records]]. It was the group's first album as a full band, as their previous album ''[[tej leo(?), Rx / pharmacists]]'' had been a solo effort by singer/guitarist Ted Leo. The album's title comes from a lyric in the [[Split Enz]] song "Six Months in a Leaky Boat," which the band later covered twice: first as a Leo solo on the [[EP]] ''[[Tell Balgeary, Balgury Is Dead]]'' in [[2003]], and again as a full band on [[2005]]'s ''[[Sharkbite Sessions]]''.
