''Anthem'' (stylized as anthem.) is the fifth studio album by ska punk band Less Than Jake, released on May 20, 2003 on Sire, an imprint of Warner Bros. Records. Recording took place between October and December 2002 at Piety Street Recording in New Orleans and Morning View Studio in Malibu, California, with producer Rob Cavallo. The album includes a re-recorded version of "Look What Happened" from the band's previous album, ''Borders & Boundaries'', which omits the horn-driven bridge between the intro and first verse. Still another form of the song exists, used on the ''Grind'' soundtrack, omitting all horn section. The band continues to play the original version live. The title of the album directly comes from a lyric in the song "Screws Fall Out", but also from its use among the band to describe a powerful song that the band can rally behind, similar to "My Very Own Flag" and "Gainesville Rock City" from ''Pezcore'' and ''Borders & Boundaries'' respectively. Bassist, Roger Manganelli, often jokes that the title was selected by the band writing down every single word in the English language, crossing out words until "Anthem" was the only one left uncrossed. == Reception == The album performed very well, debuting higher than any Less Than Jake album to date.〔AllMusic Charts: (Anthem ) Accessed 19 October 2007〕 Songs released from the record include "She’s Gonna Break Soon" and "The Science of Selling Yourself Short", two of Less Than Jake's most commercially successful songs, and both of which became video singles. Anthem is, commercially, the band's most successful to date; the album debuted at #45 on the ''Billboard'' 200 (the band's highest to date), spent 12 weeks on the Billboard 200, and debuted at #7 for Top Internet Albums. "The Science of Selling Yourself Short" was a last-minute idea for the record, and turned out to be the band's most successful song to date (#36 Billboard Modern Rock Chart). BuzzFeed included the album at number 23 on their "36 Pop Punk Albums You Need To Hear Before You F——ing Die" list. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anthem (Less Than Jake album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
