LETTING GO OF YOU,
WAS SO HARD TO DO
AND I THOUGHT
IT WOULD KILL ME
BUT I MADE IT THOUGH SOMEHOW
AND I'M SO MUCH
STRONGER NOW
Ultraphobic
is the fourth
studio album by
American
glam metal band
Released on
March 7, 1995,
on CMC International,
after the apparent
breakup of the band,
the record was regarded as
the band's
"comeback"
album.
It is the first album
to feature former
Kingdom Come
and
Wild Horses
members
Rick Steier
and
James Kottak
who came in to
replace original
band members
Joey Allen
and
Steven Sweet.
Production and Marketing
Warrant began recording
Ultraphobic
in November 1994
with producer
Beau Hill.
The band supported
the release
of the record with
a national tour
beginning in
Dallas, Texas.
A music video
was made for
the first single
"Family Picnic"
with a strong message
against family violence
and for the second single
"Stronger Now",
which ended up becoming
Lane's best song
because it was
therapeutic to him.
"Followed"
was released as the
third single
of the album.
Musical style
Ultraphobic
saw Warrant
acknowledging the
grunge phenomenon
with a record that
openly admitted to a
Seattle influence,
although it was still a
natural progression
from the hard edged
Dog Eat Dog.
In particular,
the record represented an
experimentation with the
grunge sounds which
had by this time
become popular,
and which, ironically,
had contributed to the band's
commercial demise.
In songs such as
"Undertow"
and "Followed",
the band attempted to
mix pop metal sounds
with the
alternative stylings of
Seattle bands such as
Alice in Chains
Soundgarden
