Continuing Moore's path in the hard rock genre, Victims of the Future is a collection of straight-out rock n' roll anthems (such as "Teenage Idol" and "Hold on to Love"), a mournful love ballad ("Empty Rooms", which was later re-recorded by Moore for his 1985 album Run for Cover), a cover of the Yardbirds' "Shapes of Things", and two darker songs, featuring some social and political commentary: "Victims of the Future" and "Murder in the Skies", the latter being a protest against the Soviet Union's shooting down of Korean Air Lines Flight 007.
The album was released in North America with a different cover and some altered content. Specifically, the guitar solo intro to "Murder in the Skies" was removed, and the song "Devil in Her Heart", a single B-side, was added. "All I Want" was omitted from the LP, but included as a bonus track on the cassette version.
