By the Numbers
War Is the Answer is band-written throughout, with the group credited collectively on every original and guitarist Darrell Roberts adding to 'Bulletproof.' The one exception is a hard-charging cover of Bad Company's namesake song, written by Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke, which became a Mainstream Rock hit and a live staple. Kevin Churko took over production, beginning a long partnership with the band. It reached Platinum.
War Is the Answer came out on Prospect Park on September 22, 2009, recorded in Las Vegas between April and June that year with Kevin Churko producing and Randy Staub mixing. It entered the Billboard 200 at number seven on about 44,000 copies and went platinum in the US. Four singles reached the Mainstream Rock top ten, led by a cover of Bad Company's 'Bad Company' at number two. It is the last album with bassist Matt Snell and the first with guitarist Jason Hook.
