Happenstance (Fozzy Album)
''Happenstance'' is the second studio album by heavy metal band Fozzy. For the album, the band continue with their spoof that they had spent the last 20 years in Japan being megastars and once they returned to America, they realized that many famous artists have ripped off their songs. The album therefore features covers of songs by bands such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, W.A.S.P., Scorpions and Accept. However, the album also features five original songs by Fozzy. Reception The album had little commercial success as it went on to sell fewer copies than its predecessor. It managed to reach at number 34 on the Independent Albums charts. Allmusic reviewer Bradley Torreano gave the album 3 out of 5 stars and praised the songs "To Kill a Stranger" and "Happenstance".

Repercussion (The DB's Album)
''Repercussion'' is the second studio album by American power pop band the dB's, released in 1981 by Albion Records. Like its predecessor, '' Stands for Decibels'', the album was commercially unsuccessful but critically acclaimed. This was the band's final album with the original lineup, as Chris Stamey left in early April 1982. Background and production Stamey and Peter Holsapple, the band's dual singers/guitarists, each ended up contributing six songs on the album. As was the case on their debut, Stamey's songs veered towards more experimental melodies and rhythms, while Holsapple's songs were more traditionally in a pop vein. The album was produced by Scott Litt (later famous for his association with the band R.E.M. and for remixing Nirvana's album ''In Utero''), giving it a "fuller, more modern overall sound". The first track, Holsapple's "Living a Lie", featured a horn section, the Rumour Brass. Stamey's "ridiculously catchy" song "Ask for Jill" was about the process of ma ...
