No Hats Beyond this Point is the sixth studio album by Canadian synthpop group Men Without Hats. Released in 2003, it was their first album in twelve years. After the release of the album, the group broke up.

Style and availability

The album's music consisted almost entirely of synthesizers, reverting to the group's previous sound. The album has virtually no drums (if any, most likely synthesized).

Lead singer Ivan Doroschuk's nieces sing back-up vocals in the tracks "Christina's World", "Telepathy" and "Roses".^[1]

The album is considered an "underground" album,^[2] a rarity that was not released to any record stores. In 2011, however, the band released the album commercially on several platforms for digital streaming and download.^[3]

It was intended to be Doroschuk's second solo album, titled Mote in God's Eye, but was released under the Men Without Hats name.
