"This is Happening" consists of mostly punk-rock that is cleverly twisted with a laser feel.
The album's overriding theme of desperation and impenetrability represents a difficult struggle for rebirth.
Starting with a dry call that casts doubts on relationships around him, Murphy gradually strays into questioning himself and reflect on his values, yearning for self-actualization.
A clever album that only got better with each listening.
Rate: 7.5/10
