    If anything, the album now sounds more like the masterpiece it felt just short of at the time, a work nearly on par with its more universally regarded, nocturnal sequel Automatic for the People.

    Listening now, it’s easier to understand. Buffed to perfection by Scott Litt and John Keane, Out Of Time is a proudly pop album that demands new audiences. ... For hardcore fans, the extra material is a full but mixed bag.

    The demos make a case for what the album would've sounded like had it been released when they were on I.R.S. and furthermore, some songs (most notably "Texarkana") have totally different lyrics.
