"It's About Time", released in 2004, is the fourth and latest solo album to date by R&B singer Morris Day. Released 14 years after his previous album "Guaranteed", "It's About Time" is somewhat a return to form for Day. With the exception of four new songs, the album consists of previous hits, recorded live with the modern line-up of The Time. The live material was poorly edited to remove curse words and to fade abruptly between songs, removing most of the audience reactions. The four new songs focus on hip hop and don't compliment the live material. The patchiness of the album was not received well.
