Mean Time is the second studio album by English rock band The Barracudas, released in 1983 by record label Closer.

The incorporation of Chris Wilson from The Flamin' Groovies gave this new formation a paramount weight in the eighties' garage rock bands' scene.

All tracks composed by Jeremy Gluck and Robin Wills; except where noted.

Trouser Press described the album's sound as a "'60sish blend of punky pop, vintage rock'n'roll, mock Merseybeat, snarly mild psychedelia and Byrdsy 12-string folk-rock.

"[1] AllMusic called it "the Barracudas' masterpiece", whilst Trouser Press classed it as "wonderful".
