These Times is the second full-length album by alternative rock band SafetySuit, following their 2008 debut Life Left to Go. The album was delayed several times due to intra-label changes and the band scrapping several songs but was released on January 10, 2012[2] and was exclusively released through iTunes on January 3.[3] These Times was produced by Howard Benson, Ryan Tedder, and Espionage, along with several self-produced songs, departing from their previous work with producer Greg Archilla. The album has been both critically and popularly successful, receiving highly positive reviews and reaching number 7 on the Billboard 200 chart along with the top ten of several others.
