"Desolation Angels" marked a shift towards a more polished, arena-rock sound for Bad Company, a departure from their earlier, rawer blues-rock material. The album spawned two of their biggest hits, "Rock and Roll Fantasy" and "Angelina."
- The album was recorded in the Bahamas, with singer Paul Rodgers and guitarist Mick Ralphs handling most of the songwriting.
- "Desolation Angels" was the last Bad Company album to feature the original lineup, as drummer Simon Kirke and bassist Boz Burrell would depart soon after.
- The album reached number 3 on the Billboard 200 chart in the US and achieved platinum status.
