Noteworthy Information:

  • The album is notable for being the first Van Halen album to feature only original material; there are no cover songs on the tracklist.

  • Women and Children First has a darker, more aggressive sound than their previous albums, leaning more into a heavy metal feel.

  • The album artwork is iconic, featuring a photo of a bruised and tied-up David Lee Roth on the back cover, though this was actually the result of an on-set prank during the photoshoot.

  • It reached number 6 on the Billboard 200 chart and has been certified 3x Platinum in the US.

  • The album's packaging famously included a poster of the band. The original vinyl record also included "Tora! Tora!" and "In a Simple Rhyme" as a single track without a separation groove, which was a unique production choice at the time.
