The album was a radical departure from the previous two albums, alienating fans of the blue-eyed soul material that dominated the albums. War Babies is a more rock-oriented LP with heavy keyboard work, sarcastic lyrical content, and elements of hard rock.[3][4] War Babies was their first charting album, reaching #86 on the Billboard 200.
On February 24, 2017, Friday Music released a remastered version of the album along with their first studio album, Whole Oats.[5]
