"High Time" is the second studio album by the American rock band MC5, released in 1971 on Atlantic Records. It marked a departure from the raw, garage rock sound of their debut album "Kick Out the Jams" towards a more diverse and polished musical style. Produced by Geoffrey Haslam, the album features a blend of rock, blues, and soul influences, showcasing the band's musical versatility and songwriting depth.
Despite receiving positive reviews for its musical ambition and experimentation, "High Time" did not achieve commercial success upon its initial release. Over time, however, it has gained recognition as a seminal work in rock music, praised for its musical sophistication and lyrical themes addressing social and political issues.
The album includes notable tracks such as "Sister Anne", "Skunk (Sonically Speaking)", and "Baby Won't Ya", which have become enduring favorites among MC5 fans and are often cited as examples of the band's evolution and musical prowess.
