The South African censorship authorities banned Bigger Than Jesus[1] due to concerns about the title and song "Gutted With The Glory"'s use of the Lord's Prayer, which they deemed "abhorrent and hurtful". A shopper, Mevrou Mulder of Cape Town, was so offended by seeing the record on sale that she organised a petition to the Directorate of Publications. She complained: "The name alone is enough to make any Christian furious, not to mention the words. We as reborn Christians object to the publication of this record and also the distribution of it."[2] Sony successfully appealed, and the record was unbanned on condition that the name was changed to Beachbomb.[3][4] Personality magazine said the album "alternates between sheer poetic brilliance and intellectual nonsense."[5][6] Track listing
