Disable CSS animation effect in IE

Question

I am using a cool "pop" hover effect in CSS which looks great in Chrome.

However, in Internet Explorer 11 (and below) the box area goes blank on hover and then black.

Is there a way to disable this in IE or at least fix the glitch where it disappears briefly?

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/0hLLkyh3/

@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto);
 h2 {
  font-size: 18px;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
  line-height: 28px;
  margin-top: 0;
  font-weight: 900;
}
.effects {} body {
  margin: 0 auto;
  max-width: 800px;
  padding: 40px 20px 20px 20px;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  color: #333;
  line-height: 140%;
}
img {
  border: none;
}
small {
  display: block;
}
p,
[class^="hvr-"] {
  font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
}
[class^="hvr-"] {
  /*display: inline-block;*/
  /*vertical-align: middle;*/
  margin: .4em;
  padding: 1em;
  cursor: pointer;
  background: #e1e1e1;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #666;
  /* Prevent highlight colour when element is tapped */
  -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}
.aligncenter {
  text-align: center;
}
a {
  color: #2098D1;
  text-decoration: none;
}
.mt-30 {
  margin-top: 30px;
}
a:hover {
  background: black
}

-ms-animation-name:none; would fix that
