Puppets of Destruction rules!

I finally managed to purchase this album, through a friend living in the US, and i must say, i was instantly blown away.

The music is aggressive and the vocals simply rule! This cd has instantly become one of my favourites and doesn't leave my car's CD Box.

Damn, this band is good. I'm gonna try to get the rest of the catalogue.

Thanks Gilbert. Did you pick up the new remastered version?

This is my second favorite Ultimatum album. Love it.

I got the classical version. WOW! You should play a gig in Beirut!

Cool. Glad you like it.

We would love to play a gig in Beirut.

The more I listen the more I like it! Hard to believe this was 10 years ago?!?! Ultimatum are the Anvil of christian rock.

Thanks. Glad everyone is liking it so much. Seems people are liking it better now than when it was released "10 years ago".

Anvil of Christian rock? LOL! Are you the one that posted that on YouTube?

Hahah...my dad digs ultimatum as well, but he likes the vocals just as much as the rest of the music.

My dad doesn't like Ultimatum.

I recently got the remastered version with the bonus "Fatal Delay" disk. Love it. I'm glad to have it again. I use to own the Rowe productions version. At that time my idea of heavy metal was Whitecross and Bride. I just started getting into Tourniquet and Mortification and discovered Rowe Productions. This was also just after Intense records went under. Figures, about the time I start getting interested in heavy music, they up and go out of print.

Anyways, like I was saying, I had only just begun to discover "heavy" music and I picked up "Puppet of Destruction" just because it was a Rowe Productions release. I had no idea what to do with it at the time and ended up giving it to a friend.

I'm jazzed to get it again now, and remastered at that! Too bad the liner notes leave something to be desired, but I'm stoked they kept the old "band photos" from the original release.

What didn't you like about the liner notes?

NO LYRICS! The write up was cool, but I'm one of those weirdos who likes to read lyrics.

Oh. I understand. The logic was this; We only had 6 panels to work with so we figured the liner notes and old photos would suffice since the lyrics are all available on-line and on the original pressing.

thanks,ult,that answered alot of questions that i had also!!makes alot of sense!
