You should check their current album out, listen to these few
- Landmines & Landslides
- Dont Fall Asleep on the subway.

The whole album is awesome really.

I have all of their albums, they're amazing, really unique (:
Anthem has to be my favourite album though. (y)

I have most of their albums, I used to be quite a fan of ska/punk music, I suppose I still am but I've branched out quite a bit.
Just a few songs I would recommend that aren't from their most recent album (although the new one has recently been released and I haven't heard it yet and I'll assume you know of all the good tracks from IWTOC):
The Science of Selling Yourself Short
Short Fuse Burning
Motown Never Sounded So Good
Plastic Cup Politics (one of their most awesome songs and the original song that got me interested in LTJ)
Bridge and Tunnel Authority (the remix is good too but slightly more electronic than the original version)
Malt Liquor Tastes Better When You've Got Problems
Last One Out of Libery City
Help Save the Youth of America from Exploding
All Me Best Friends Are Metalheads (<- easily one of their top 3 songs across every album they've created)
History of a Boring Town
Great American Sharpshooter (lyrics are awesome)
Scott Farcas Takes It On The Chin (fast paced and great live)
Automatic
Happyman
Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts
How's My Driving, Doug Hastings?
Dopeman (a lot slower than most of their songs but one of their most popular)
Jen Doesn't Like Me Anymore

...to name just a few :P Also, their cover of I Think I Love You from the Scream 2 soundtrack is pretty good too.
In short, they're one of the most awesome ska/punk bands in existance and I would strongly recommend buying or at least downloading a couple of their albums.

IWTOC wasn't received too well by fans, it moved too far away from their Ska/Punk roots of Hello Rockview, Losing Streak and to a certain extent Anthem. A lot of people felt it was a too pop oriented album, GNV FLA has already been tipped to move back to what we know and love LTJ for.
