Description
The album sold more than two million copies, but was still the band’s slowest-selling album of the David Lee Roth era. Despite the album’s commercially disappointing sales, Fair Warning was met with mostly positive reviews from critics.
The album was listed by Esquire as one of the 75 Albums Every Man Should Own.
The album’s cover artwork features a detail from The Maze, a painting by Canadian artist William Kurelek, which depicts his tortured youth.
