The song "Love Is a Good Thing" contains the lyrics "Watch out sister, watch out brother, watch our children while they kill each other with a gun they bought at Wal-Mart discount stores" (in criticism of [[Wal-Mart]]'s gun sales policy). For this reason, sales of the album were banned at Wal-Mart stores.<ref>{{cite web |first=Liz |last=Harper |url=http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/business/wal-mart/impact.html |title=Wal-Mart: Pop Culture Gatekeeper? |publisher=[[Online NewsHour]] |date=20 August 2004 |accessdate=3 April 2008}}</ref>
