"Time to Waste" was the first single from Crimson, Alkaline Trio's 2005 album on Vagrant, and it went to radio that May. Jerry Finn produced, Ryan Hewitt engineered, and the Chicago trio wrote it together: Matt Skiba singing lead and playing guitar, Dan Andriano on bass and backing vocals, Derek Grant on drums, with Roger Joseph Manning Jr. adding piano. It's punk rock in a black velvet cape, urgent and gloomy at the same time.
Linkin Park's Joseph Hahn directed the video, which puts the band in a hangar amid lighting effects and projection screens, and the single carried two more songs from the Crimson sessions, "We Can Never Break Up" and "Don't Say You Won't". It got to 40 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and 32 in the UK.
