In With the Out Crowd is an album by ska-punk band Less Than Jake, released on May 23, 2006. Sixteen songs were recorded during the studio session; however, the album only has twelve songs. The album art is a photo collage of pictures sent in by fans and a few of the band themselves. The first single to be taken from the album is a double A-side, "Overrated (Everything Is)"/"A Still Life Franchise", and was released in the UK on May 8, 2006. The first single to be released in the US was also a double A-side, "The Rest of My Life/Don't Fall Asleep on the Subway", released on August 31, 2006. The album has been noted as featuring far less involvement from the horn section than past albums.
The next single will be P.S. Shock the World.
