Notes
- Ball & Chain was not on every version of the album. It was on every CD issue, and some prints of the cassette. But on no vinyl copies.
- This band (at least on this album, anyway) has a very strong Black Sabbath connection, with two members (Ray Gillen & Eric Singer) having been in Black Sabbath, and a third having played with Ozzy.
- Jake E. Lee used to be the guitarist for a few years for Ozzy Osbourne.
- The band played War Pigs live quite a few times.
- The 2010 reissue was handled by the Rock Candy label in Europe, and was not released domestically in the US.
- The 2010 remastered by Andy Pearce & Matt Wortham. That team handled a lot of the 2009+ Black Sabbath remaster series of discs (or Pearce himself).

Video
I saw Badlands once. The reason is because I loved Jake E. Lee in ozzy, but I thought he was being underused. Then, this album comes out. I love this album, so I wanted to see them on this tour. And boy did it suck. I couldn’t get into it at all. Someone told me that they progressively got better as the tour went on. I hope so. I don’t know what their problem was the night I saw them.
