All the Time in the World is the second studio album by the band Lazlo Bane. It was self-released by the band more than five years after their debut album, 11 Transistor.

Background and release

The work on the album started in late 90's when the band was still signed to Almo Sounds label. According to Chad Fischer the release of the album was shelved around 2000 as the label was sold to Universal Music Group. [1] Lazlo Bane managed to acquire the album from Almo Sounds but struggled to release it by themselves. [2]

Early self released promo copies of the album was distributed in 2000, [3] while the first commercially released track was " Superman" as it appeared on the soundtrack for the film The Tao of Steve. [4] [5]

During that period "Superman" got noticed by Zach Braff and later became the theme song for the television series Scrubs. [2]

All the Time in the World finally received an official release on CD and as a digital download through CD Baby in September 2002. [6]

Unlike the band's debut 11 Transistor with its guitar-heavy stylings, the songs on All the Time in the World expand the variety of instruments and feature banjo, piano, saxophone and strings. [7] While working on the album the band wrote a large number of new songs, much more than were released. Some of them were included on the band's next release, Back Sides. [8]

Versions and differences

There are several differences between the early 2000 promo and the official 2002 releases. The CD promo edition featured the song "I'll Be Happy" [9] as track 11, which was replaced with "Breathe Me In" on the 2002 CD release. Another difference was that the hidden track came as a separate track after a track of silence, similar to what was done on the band's previous album 11 Transistor.

The 2002 digital edition of the album omits the hidden track after the song "Crooked Smile" and includes "I'll Be Happy" as the eleventh track while it is incorrectly titled as "Breathe Me In". [10] [8] [11] It can be heard through the preview and judged by the length of the track - for "I'll Be Happy" it is 4:16 instead of 4:43 for "Breathe Me In".

In 2018 the album was remastered and reissued on vinyl by German label Lonestar Records. The release was made on electric blue vinyl limited to 500 copies. [12] The vinyl edition included "Breath Me In" as track 11, but omitted a hidden track at the end of the album.

Uses in other media

"Superman" was used as the theme song for the television series Scrubs

The title track was featured in 2002 film The First $20 Million Is Always the Hardest. [13]

The song "Hold Me" was featured in 2005 film Her Minor Thing. [14]

Reception

Gene Triplett of the NewsOK called the album "fun-loving package, all richly-layered with voices, strings, piano and guitar", noting the title track, "Trampoline", "Scene of the Crime" and "Breathe Me In", comparing the last two with "Hotel California"-era Eagles. [7]

All the Time in the World was ranked #1 at the 2004 Just Plain Folks Music Awards in the category College Rock Album, [15] with "Superman" and the title track being ranked #2 and #6 in the category College Rock Song respectively. [16]
