Différences entre la version américaine et la version internationale

La pochette de la version internationale, représentant une main gantée de cuir posée sur une fesse, a été censurée aux États-Unis et remplacée par une illustration abstraite.

De même la chanson New York City Cops est remplacée sur la version américaine par le titre When It Started. En effet, l'album étant sorti aux États-Unis quelques semaines seulement après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001, cette chanson au refrain "New York City Cops, they ain't too smart" (trad: Les flics de New York, ils ne sont pas très malins) aurait été jugée déplacée dans le contexte.
