Now Is the Time is the second studio album by Alanis Morissette, released only in Canada in August 1992 (see 1992 in music). It was the final album for MCA Records Canada. Morissette recorded the album with Leslie Howe, who produced her debut album, Alanis (1991).

Legacy

In 1995 Morissette released her Grammy winning-international acclaimed debut album Jagged Little Pill through U.S. label Maverick Records. Executives at Maverick persuaded MCA Records to withdraw all copies of Alanis and Now Is the Time from circulation, and they did not mention either album in the promotional material for Jagged Little Pill. According to Spin magazine, Morissette's transformation from "the Debbie Gibson of Canada" to an alternative rock musician made some Canadians skeptical. As with Alanis, Now Is the Time is no longer in print. Morissette's contract with MCA expired after the release of the album, and she said "It was kind of a blessing that it was over, because I wanted to start out with a clean slate, not only personally but career-wise, too."Time magazine called the album "uninspired", and the song "Rain" "wistful", while The Kansas City Star labelled it "a lightweight faux Madonna album".

Now is the Time is the sixth album by Japanese band Polysics. It is the first album of new material to be released in Japan, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom. Several tracks on the album were produced by Andy Gill of the band Gang of Four. The Japanese, US, and UK releases all have different track lists, each with exclusive tracks.

The songs "Coelakanth Is Android", "Baby BIAS" and "I My Me Mine" were released as singles in Japan.
