The Best of Times is an album by the New York City hardcore punk band Murphy's Law, released in 1991.

[2][3] The album was produced by Fishbone's John "Norwood" and Phillip "Fish" Fisher.

[4] "Ebony and Ivory" is a cover of the Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder song.

"[7] The Chicago Tribune noted that "a hearty horn section punctuates and adds a wallop to the guitar assault.
