Mustaine selected and compiled 35 tracks, choosing at least one track from each of the band's fifteen studio albums. He stated, "I see these songs as the most efficient weapons in the band's arsenal...These tracks were created for maximum destruction."[3]
The album was released as 3-CD and 4-LP vinyl editions, as well as a 4-LP vinyl edition on silver-colored vinyl. Both versions feature the same track listing.[4]
Warheads on Foreheads was generally well received by critics. In a review for AllMusic, Fred Thomas writes that Warheads on Foreheads feels "more like an anthology than a greatest-hits collection", showing resilience and consistency throughout critically successful and fan-favorite albums alike.[2]
