Time Flies... but Aeroplanes Crash / Rats is a 1986 compilation by Subhumans, combining the 1983 Time Flies… But Aeroplanes Crash 12” and the 1984–85 Rats EP.
It mixes studio tracks, live recordings, and reworked early material, capturing the band’s raw early period. Rats stands out as one of their strongest releases, with politically driven themes, while key tracks like “Work Rest Play Die” and the piano-led “Susan” highlight the range within the collection.
The release remains a key document of the band’s early impact in the UK anarcho-punk scene alongside acts like Crass and Conflict.
