Boundaries: A Benefit for the Kosovar Refugees. At least two songs, "Break Up at Food Court" and "Carrying Cathy", were played during these sessions, but were neither released nor played live by the band. Folds would later officially record "Carrying Cathy" for his debut solo release, Rockin' the Suburbs. A demo for "Break Up at Food Court" was also later released in 2011, on "The Best Imitation of Myself: A Retrospective". Reception The record was given generally positive reviews, with Allmusic saying that it's the band's willingness "to forge a unique sound that makes The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner such an interesting album to listen to.

In 2017, the album was reissued on a 180-gram vinyl. The reissue was sourced from the original mix reels and sported a new master by Kevin Gray. The lead single, "Army", was featured in the Viceland comedy series Nirvanna the Band the Show as the end
