With this album, Renaissance departed from their signature sound and toward 1980s pop, a change which had begun on their previous album, Camera Camera. It was a commercial failure and received the worst reviews of the band's career.[3] It was followed by a band hiatus of nearly 20 years.
While Camera Camera's sound was influenced by the band members who had played as Nevada (Annie Haslam and Michael Dunford, along with keyboardist Peter Gosling), on Time-Line Jon Camp took charge of the musical tone and direction.[2] He wrote all the lyrics, strongly influenced the musical style, and went so far as to call this the band's "best album."[4]
