Gatefold jacket, 2xLP with bonus tracks and UV print on the D side.
Released in 2000, third wave ska band Less Than Jake took the bold steps on “Borders and Boundaries”. With producer Steve Kravacat helm, the album leans into skate-pop punk more than any previous album. A polarizing release initially (some critics wrote about wanting more horns and more ‘major label’ sellouts, although the band being back with an indie-label). Punknews called the album ‘underrated.’ Though Canada's Chart Attack & Germanys' Rock Hard & Ox-Fanzine would disagree. As would UK's Downed in Sound giving the album a perfect 10/10 and writing ‘every song is so darn catchy’. 25 years later, “Borders and Boundaries” is now is the band's best-selling and most popular release. The 25thAnniversary edition includes five previously unreleased demos and new mix of ‘Is this Thing on?’ by Tom Lord-Alge (a.m.o. Sum 41 (‘Fat Lip’), Sevendust (‘Waffle’) und Angels & Airwaves (‘The Adventure’) plus Weezer, Blink 182 etc.)
