Being an influential band in the metal world and already having a four and a half star rating on their EP, Iwrestledabearonce had to step up to the challenge of making an even better sound when making their first full length album. Released on June 2, 2009, It’s All Happening combines the hardcore growls and screams we’re used to as well as technical riffs and guitar solos. Vocalist Krysta Cameron combines off pitch eerie singing sections in almost each song.
The first few times I listened to this CD, I thought that the off pitch singing added a really nice touch. Especially since Krysta decided to hit the right notes in th "Alaskan Flounder Baske"t. However, after listening to It’s All Happening many times, the continuous notes never matching the tone of the music made the songs annoying. “I'm Cold and There Are Wolves After Me” starts off with a beautiful, ominous singing part, but later in the song, she started wavering from the right notes. "The Cats Pajamas" contains a more melodic tune and sounds much better than the rest of her singing. It’s All Happening sold 4,300 copies in the United States in its first week of release. It’s debut position was No. 121 on The Billboard 200 chart and landed No. 1 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heartseekers) chart.
