Time's Incinerator is the second album to be released by Soul Asylum in 1986. It is a rare cassette-only release which contains b-sides, outtakes, and demos from Soul Asylum and the former Loud Fast Rules days.

The album name comes from Soul Asylum's song "Can't Go Back" from the album Made To Be Broken, where the lyrics are "fifteen years later caught in time's incinerator... yesterday's worries are today's".

[edit] Trivia

  • The five songs (denoted with a star above) were outtakes from their 1984 debut album, "Say What You Will... Everything Can Happen". These songs eventually made it to the 1988 CD release (and re-release) of the album, which was titled, Say What You Will, Clarence...Karl Sold the Truck.
