It's Album Time is the debut studio album by Norwegian DJ and record producer Todd Terje, released on 8 April 2014 by Olsen Records. The album was self-produced by Terje and was recorded in a span of three years. It was met with generally positive reviews from music critics upon release. The album debuted at number 2 in Terje's home country of Norway, number 4 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart, number 23 on the UK Albums Chart, and number 6 on the UK Dance Albums chart.

Six singles have been released from the album: "Inspector Norse", "Strandbar", "Delorean Dynamite", "Leisure Suit Preben", "Johnny and Mary" featuring Bryan Ferry, and "Alfonso Muskedunder".

The album includes Terje's 2012 track "Inspector Norse", which became Mixmag's best track of 2012, and came second on Resident Advisor's list of the 50 best track of 2012. It also includes an edited version of the "Disco Mix" of 2013 single "Strandbar", as well as a lightly edited version of "Swing Star", from his 2012 extended play It's the Arps -- which also featured "Inspector Norse". Jim Carroll of The Irish Times placed Terje's track "Strandbar" at number eighteen on his list of the best tracks of 2013. The album's sole collaboration comes from Bryan Ferry, the lead singer of Roxy Music, on a cover of Robert Palmer's "Johnny and Mary".
