The cover artwork for Sex and Drugs and Jesus Christ has incited controversy.[4] It depicts an image of Jesus Christ in a self-made tourniquet, injecting heroin.
According to Jungle Records' website, the artwork affected the band, leading to a cancellation of shows in Boston.[5] The website claims the artwork was censored in NME and Melody Maker magazine, with the NME rating it a 1 out of 10, saying "may the good lord strike them down."[5]
Released on 18 October 1988, Sex and Drugs and Jesus Christ is reportedly Christian Death's highest selling album from the 1980s.[5][citation needed]
Trouser Press described the record as "awful", "rudimentary" and "barely musical".[3]
CD version contains the additional song "Tragedy" as track 4.
