New Times is the album released in 1994 by Violent Femmes. It was the first Femmes' record not to feature original drummer Victor De Lorenzo on drums, who had been replaced by Guy Hoffman. "Breakin' Up," which was actually a song Gordon Gano had written years before, was the lead single and video that received minor airplay on MTV. The album did not sell well, but featured many of the Femmes' most musically complex and lyrically inventive songs, including "4 Seasons," concert staple "I'm Nothing," and the last four songs on the record.
