In/Casino/Out is a live-in-studio album, recorded as such with the intention of better capturing the energy and sound of the band's live shows. The album marks a middle ground between the raw, lo-fi production of Acrobatic Tenement and the sleeker, more produced sound subsequently heard on their third album, Relationship of Command.
In 2016, Rolling Stone placed the album at #20 in their "40 Greatest Emo Albums of All Time" list.
