"About Time" is the third album by Pennywise, released on June 13, 1995.

Although the album was not a commercial success, it is widely considered to be one of Pennywise's best releases, and it includes their concert staples "Peaceful Day", "Perfect People", "Every Single Day" and "Same Old Story". "About Time" was also the first Pennywise album to chart in Billboard. Most of the album follows the theme of problems with time; fear of it passing, controlling it and accepting it.

"About Time" is also the last Pennywise album to feature bass player Jason Thirsk, who committed suicide on July 29, 1996.

Writing for the follow-up to "Unknown Road" began in 1994. Pennywise entered Total Access Studios in December of that year, [The exact date that the recording of "About Time " began is uncertain.] booking two-and-a-half-months of studio time in which to record the album.
