Ultraphobic is the fourth music album by American glam metal band Warrant. Released on March 10, 1995 on CMC International, after the apparent break-up of the band, the record was regarded as the band's "comeback" album.

[edit] Musical style

Ultraphobic is Warrant's heaviest and most raw release, continuing down the darker path first explored on the band's previous record, Dog Eat Dog. It is vaguely similar to Danger Danger's Dawn, which was also released in 1995. 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 and Soundgarden.

[edit] 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.

[edit] Lyrics

Lyrically, the album appears to have been heavily influenced by the painful divorce which vocalist Jani Lane endured during the record's production.
