Now What???? Aug 26, 2009
Don't get me wrong this is a good, and even better album than "Dog Eat Dog" was, but what genre is Warrant trying to mimic this time? My guess would be grunge, but it comes off sounding alot like King's X. Which is alright considering Jani Lane likes "Gretchen Goes To Nebraska", but let's get serious here Warrant had found their niche in the 80's with "Dirty Rotten Stinking Filthy Rich". Still I can't deny this is a decent album. The album kicks off with "Undertow" as they mimic Alice In Chains, followed after that by "Followed" as they mimic Megadeth, "Family Picnic", "Sum Of One" continue with the King's X feel, and pretty much doesn't let up until the last song on the record which is their ballad song called Stronger Now". I read in one of the other reviews that Jani Lane went through a divorce while doing this album. I guess that's why it was held up in release until 1995, but I started hearing about this album as early as Feb. 1994. I more or less gave up on Warrant as I was starting to experiment with Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, etc. However, this is actually a good album not to be ignored anymore.
New line-up produces an amazing Cd in a different direction Sep 30, 2008
Almost as good as Belly to Belly Volume 1, Ultraphobic is what really got me into Warrant back on the mid 90s. I was familiar with their other stuff, but this CD made me a Warrant fan.
Basically the CD rocks. Undertow, Followed, Sum of One, Title Track, Family Picnic and the ultra-amazing Strong Now which should have tore the charts up if it had main stream support.
Just love this Era of Warrant and the line up. Very creative stuff that really rocks. It's too bad they went back to the Warrant of the 80s as of late.
 One of their best ever!!! Jun 30, 2008
There are so many quality, catchy ear worms in this CD it's a gem from the past!
 Blurghhhhh Jul 18, 2006
I guess i'm one of the Warrant fans who liked the first three albums. After hearing this and Belly To Belly i'm glad they realised they where a hard rock band and no one succeed's in trying to change there musical direction.
The song's on this are far from memorable or classic Warrant tunes. There are songs by Warrant you can hear on the radio or something and say, "hey, that's Warrant!" but this album is, "Who the hell are they, I dont want to know, change it"
If you're a grundge/alternative fan interested in your sad depressing songs of depression and suicide then this album will probably be to your liking, but if you're like me and enjoy the fun song's that showed Warrants real talent, then skip this album and Ultraphobic. You may or may not like Greatest and Latest and Under The Influence, but I'm damn glad the band realised they where hard rock and not this s###.
However on a postive note, not all the songs on this album I hated. I do think "Stronger Now" was classic Warrant writing, but I dont think I will ever like anything else on the album.

Surprisingly Solid! Apr 28, 2006
That's right, Warrant! Jani Lane knew it was time to grow up and start making more personal and tighter music and they did just that. They experiment with grunge and also retain their pop metal sound. The first three tracks are a prime example of them crossing over into grunge. Family Picnic, one of the album's finest cuts is their best heavier song they have ever done. Stronger now is easily my favorite here, a delicately and perfectly played acoustic guitars. Jani Lane's voice is also improving with each and every album. You can definitely hear the range on Family Picnic and Sum of One. There are a couple of just OK, but I can listen to every song. Ultraphobic found the median between grunge and pop metal and it is their only truly solid record. Good Job Jani Lane!
