Notable, the album also contains a track called "Sex Dwarf" that was played one night on my college radio station for someone on my floor. Nuff Said.
The group caused some controversy in the United Kingdom over the song "Sex Dwarf", the music video of which was banned due to its explicit, S&M-related content.
