Fozzy's first two albums, "Fozzy" and "Happenstance" mainly consisted of covers of the songs of 1970s and 1980s metal bands. Their third album," All That Remains", consisted entirely of originals, although two of the songs, "The Test" and "The Way I Am", had been written by Ward during his time with Sick Speed, which disbanded in 2004. The reason for releasing a completely original album was noted by Ward, ""Ultimately it came to the time of the third album that we had to decide what we are, we're either a joke or we're a really good joke with good songs"".
