Tetragrammaton ran into difficulty over the use of the Vatican-owned Hieronymus Bosch painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights". The original painting is in color although it appears in monochrome here due to a printing error for the original layout and the band opted to keep it that way.[citation needed]
