Less Than Jake reminds me of the story of the prodigal son. The band had a big and loyal ska-punk fanbase, went out and squandered it to be able to get radio airplay (eliminating the horns for the most part), realizing that they weren't enjoying doing that even though they were making more money and returned to their fanbase who welcomed them with open arms back in 2008 with the release of
