This cover was banned from Tesco, ASDA and Sainsbury's stores in the UK because they thought the cover was 'innopropriate'. "We felt that some customers might consider this particular album cover to be inappropriate if it were prominently displayed on the shelf," Sainsbury's music buyer said. "As such, the album will be sold in a sleeve provided by the publisher." This puts across that the band, for both Journal... and The Holy Bible, made the albums to cause controversy and make an artistic statement. A quote from singer James Dean Bradfield from the Manic Street Preachers, 'We're not going to censor it or anything ... It is what it is'.
