Album notes
- "Prophecy" was recorded during the sessions of this album, but was unable to make the final cut. However, it appeared as a bonus track on the CD reissue of the band's self-titled EP.
- The original version of "Gonna Get Close to You" appears on Dalbello's 1984 album Whomanfoursays.
- EMI, the record label that released Rage for Order, has created multiple cover layouts for the album over the years. A few thousand initial copies bear a bluish-silver banner that was later changed to black in order to make the artist and title easier to read. The original cassette edition also had all the gold accents on the cover changed to white.
- The band was invited to promote Rage for Order by opening for RATT on their Dancing Undercover tour.
- Rage for Order was ranked #88 on Kerrang! magazine's "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums Of All Time" in January 1989.
- Although not credited, the album cover was designed by Garry Sharpe-Young. It had originally been proposed for a 12" picture disc, which never materialized, and was used by EMI Records for the album cover without permission. This logo, with subtle changes, would be used by the band throughout their career.
- In the reissue, the live bonus tracks "The Killing Words" and "Walk in the Shadows" were recorded at The Astoria Theatre in London on October 20, 1994, and in La Crosse, Wisconsin, between May 10 and 12, 1991, respectively.
- "Walk in the Shadows" was also covered by Arch Enemy on their "Revolution Begins" single. The song was also covered by Jess Harnell as a bonus track on his 1995 solo album "The Sound Of Your Voice."
