Back to the Drawing Board! is the Rubinoos' second album, released on Beserkley Records.[1][2] Back to the Drawing Board! is a power pop album and fit well with the other power pop bands on Beserkley. It is known for the single "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", which gained notoriety when Rubinoos members Tommy Dunbar and James Gangwer sued Avril Lavigne, alleging that her hit "Girlfriend" had too much in common with it.

The Rubinoos re-released the album with bonus tracks on their own label in 2011.

Critical reception
