The record was not originally pressed with a
Parental Advisory sticker on the cover. However,
Atlantic Records did have a problem with some of the sexual metaphors mentioned in "Hard for Love" and "Skull Session." It was also a marketing ploy to encourage more people to buy the record as a result of it being "banned" by some outlets.[6]
This was bassist Keith Collins's last album with the band.
Jon and
Criss Oliva were not completely happy with Collins' playing and corrected some of his mistakes for the final version. Collins was replaced by
Johnny Lee Middleton in 1986.[7]
