Time Bomb è una canzone che risente molto delle influenze degli Operation Ivy, il gruppo ska-punk in cui militavano il cantante e chitarrista Tim Armstrong ed il bassista Matt Freeman. Sebbene il gruppo non si sia mai interessato molto alle classifiche musicali, si segnala Time Bomb come la hit di maggior successo dei Rancid in tal senso, in quanto conquistò l'ottavo posto della US Modern Rock Chart. Venne estratto dall'album And Out Come The Wolves (1995). Nella partitura proposta abbiamo anche trascritto l'assolo di organo, scritto da Vic Ruggiero degli Slackers, in forma di tablatura (per una più semplice formattazione).
