About Time, released in 1995, is the twelfth studio album from The Stranglers and the second one from the Black, Burnel, Greenfield, Roberts and Ellis line-up. It was co-produced, engineered and mixed by Alan Winstanley, who had worked with the Stranglers on their first four albums (as the engineer on Rattus Norvegicus, No More Heroes and Black and White and producer on The Raven). Nigel Kennedy plays electric violin on "Face" and a string-quartet is used on three of the eleven tracks ("Face", "Still Life" and "Sinister").

"Lies and Deception" was the only single released off the album, it is one of the few Stranglers songs solely written by drummer Jet Black; Released as two CDs, CD1 was backed with non-album tracks "Swim" and "Cool Danny", CD2 was backed with non-album tracks "Kiss The World Goodbye" and "Bed of Nails".

The Album peaked at #31 in the U.K. Charts in May 1995.
