Time on Earth is the fifth studio album by New Zealand-Australian rock band Crowded House. Tracks were produced by both Ethan Johns and Steve Lillywhite and the album was released on 30 June 2007 in Australia, 2 July in the United Kingdom and 10 July in North America. Time on Earth was the band's first studio album since 1993, eleven years after they disbanded. New drummer Matt Sherrod replaced Paul Hester, who died in 2005.
As the first studio album from the group in fourteen years, Time on Earth was subject to much speculation. Upon its release the album garnered positive critical reception and quickly reached Platinum status in Australia, and Gold status in New Zealand.
To promote the album, the group toured internationally, beginning at Coachella music festival and at Live Earth in July. Three singles were released from the album, "Don't Stop Now", "She Called Up" and "Pour le monde". A special tour edition of the album was released in Australia in November 2007, with an extra CD featuring eleven songs recorded during the band's North American tour.
