Wha'ppen is the second of The English Beat's three albums to be expanded to include two sides of non-LP tracks and B-sides. Wha'ppen reflects the band's signature melange of musical styles and influences, shifting from a heavy reggae/ska/punk sound to a more eclectic sound that included African, steel drum, and dub influences for a wholly original sound. Their socially conscious and politically-oriented lyrics remain as relevant today as in the context of the album's original release during the 1981 riots in England. It features the hits "Too Nice to Talk To", "Doors of Your Heart," "All Out to Get You", "Drowning", and "Hit It" as well as bonus tracks.
