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.
"Redemption Day" was covered by Johnny Cash on his second posthumous record, American VI: Ain't No Grave.
