3:47 EST 3:47 EST is the first album by the Canadian progressive rock group Klaatu, released in August 1976. The album was renamed "Klaatu" when released in the United States by Capitol Records. It is regarded as one of the band's greatest albums (along with "Hope"), using the same kind of Beatlesque psychedelic rock (in the style of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "Magical Mystery Tour"), with a few new additions; most notably vocal distortion, more backwards instruments, and some obscure musical instruments such as electric sitars. The Juno-nominated album cover was painted by a friend of Klaatu's members, the Canadian graphic artist, Ted Jones.

Fear of a Punk Planet Fear of a Punk Planet is the third album by the southern California punk rock band The Vandals, originally released in 1990 by Triple X Records. It was their first album to include the lineup of Dave Quackenbush, Warren Fitzgerald, Joe Escalante and Josh Freese, solidifying the band's roster after several years of fluctuation. This lineup would remain intact for the rest of the band's career, and for this reason "Fear of a Punk Planet" is considered by many fans to be the first proper album by the "new" Vandals. The album returned the band to their punk rock sound, after having played mostly in a country style on their previous album "Slippery When Ill". The band would stick to a punk rock formula throughout the rest of their career. The album's title called to mind the rap album "Fear of a Black Planet" by Public Enemy, released that same year. It featured guest appearances by Dweezil and Moon Unit Zappa, Scott Thunes and Kelsey Grammer. An independent music video was filmed for the album's first track, "Pizza Tran."
