Time to Win, Vol. 1 is the first official EP from the Canadian band, Down with Webster. It released October 6, 2009 on Universal Motown. The album was successful in Canada, all three singles off the album charted in the top 25 on the Canadian Hot 100 and all three were certified Platinum. The album has sold over 40,000 copies in Canada and was certified Gold in December 2010.[1]

Background and recording

The band said the reason to release "Time to Win" in two separate volumes was because: "As a band, we are constantly writing and recording, so instead of taking years to finish and deliver an album, releasing them this way enables us the freedom to get music out to our fans faster, more often, and for less money".[2]

The majority of "Time to Win, Vol. 1" was recorded at Chill Ville Studios, Toronto. Additional recording happened at The Hit Factory Criteria, Miami. The album was mixed at various locations such as The Orange Lounge, Toronto and South Beach Studios, Miami. "Time to Win, Vol. 1" was mastered at Sterling Sound, New York City.

The album mainly has new songs except for "Miracle Mile", which was also on the band's self-released album and included on Universal Motowns insistence.[3]

James Robertson, Demacio Castellon and Down with Webster produced all of the tracks.[4] Down with Webster had worked with Robertson previously on their self released album in 2007.[5]

Release and promotion

"Back of My Hand" was released digitally on July 7, 2009 as the first promotional single from the album.[6] "Time to Win" was released later that year as the second promotional single from the album.[7]

Time to Win, Vol. 1 was released on October 6, 2009. A CD release concert was performed in October, 2009 at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto.[8]

Reception

Time to Win, Vol. I was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Ben Packard of Rock Wire called the EP "one of the most solid records of the year," praising the group's beats and vocals as "something you just can't ignore." The first track "Time to Win" was described as the "perfect opening for the album" with its "incredibly catchy" production. He approved of "Whoa Is Me"'s "incredible mix of beats and guitar shredding", and vocal transitions between the band members on "Your Man". Packard opined that "Parade Music" is the most "'hip hop' type of song" on the album and complimented the guitar solo. However, he found "Miracle Mile" to be strange and monotonous .[13] "Rich Girl$" was described by Aryeh Carni of eatsleepbreathemusic.com as having a "cheesy 80′s sound like Eddie Money and it's got that guilty pleasure hook to go along [with it]". On "Back of my Hand", she compared it to Eminem’s "Stan" due to the sound of "rainstorms and keys" being heard in the intro. She commended the band for showcasing their sense of humour and nonchalant attitude in their music. In addition, Carni noted their use of "beats and samples, heavy guitars and clever lyrical games" on the album.[14]

The EP was nominated for Pop Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2011 which took place on March 27, 2011.[15][16]
