From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Time Bomb is the second studio album by American rock band Buckcherry. It was produced by John Travis and released on March 27, 2001, by DreamWorks Records. It is the band's only album to feature Yogi Lonich on rhythm guitar and is the final album to feature the original lineup, as bassist Jonathan Brightman and drummer Devon Glenn both left the band in August 2001 and January 2002, respectively. It is also Buckcherry's last album before a three-year hiatus, which lasted from 2002 to 2005.

Release and reception
The album spawned two singles, "Ridin'" and "Slit My Wrists". The lyrics are sleazier and more sordid than on the band's first album, suggesting considerable rock n' roll excess within the band at the time. The bonus track (untitled on the sleeve, but officially called "Open My Eyes") suggests an end to this due to a successful relationship. The CD version of the album is currently out of print as of June 2010, though iTunes and Spotify still feature the album in their libraries.
