No, I think there's definitely some similarities
to 'ryche for sure, musically. But I've always felt with Paris' voice
they were allot like Maiden. Those two could be twins
vocally!........well, you still might be NUTS.

| Currently I have three copies of this CD (used bin finds). Two Medusa copies and one Restless reissue. I'm going to keep one copy. Considering that I don't care about original version vesus reissues, I only want the best-sounding version or the one with the most songs, which version is best? I could probably just check this at home later, but I just thought of it now, so I figured I'd ask. Haha.

Got anything to trade? I'd rather not sell them. Then I'll buy Chinese food or something with the money. Hahaha. Plus I didn't pay much for them ($1.99 for one, and $2.99 for the others). A fair trade is fine with me. And by fair I mean simply something I want, not looking for something hard to find.

| I have very little music. Ultimatums cd is the first hard copy I've
bought in 12 years. I have purchased quite a few Christian metal stuff
in the last couple months on Itunes and mp3sugar.com. Tourniquet,
Deliverance, Seventh Angel-lament for the weary. some movie
soundtracks, PUNISHER, BATMAN BEGINS, NATIONAL TREASURE, PURSUIT OF
HAPPINESS, WE WERE SOLDIERS. Its all digital though. I could trade you
a copy but its worth nothing as a collection piece.
Guess I don't have allot to offer in trade. Need any graphic design? You seriously need a new avatar?!  Seriously, I'd be more than happy to send you some money for the cd and shipping.
Hey, i just thought of something. How about a custom sticker? I'll
design it and make it. I have a vinyl plotter at home. I could make you
a sick window sticker or something. I'm making some for Ult.

Hello Eye all of those 'issues' are the same, even though they were released by Medusa and Restless. Those issues if memory serves the guys are standing in street clothes with the silly blue 'High Five' sign on the disc I think.
The original Star Song release sounds different.... they're wearing their 'blue & white' outfits on this release.... |

Either way, one of my favorite bands from the 80's.

hey, ult, they don't sound exactly the same. the blue cover/black vinyl(which was the first release) has a better sound than the white cover/blue vinyl especially on the drums...and recently i've got and a third copy of it that came with blue cover/blue vinyl,hehehe.....(someone made a mistake i guess) |

| I like Barren Cross a lot. I think all four of their studio albums are terrific and all have their moments of greatness.
I like all four of their albums pretty much the same, so I'd rank them like this:
1a. State of Control
1b. Rock For the King
1c. Rattle Your Cage
1d. Atomic Arena
As for Hotter Than Hell (live), it wasn't that bad. Its just that their studio work is so far superior, the live album gets no attention. |

I asked their bassist some time ago about this and he said that they
are both the exact same mix and mastering. So I suppose the only
difference would be black vinyl usually sounds better than colored
vinyl.
