We have been avid Matchbox Twenty fans for some years now. I was concerned when Rob went solo that his music would be a little more hard edge. It is not. The only concern is the S word is in there one time. However, if you are doing your job correctly as parents, your children will know this is not a word for children to use. My son understands this and when that part of the song comes on, he just ignores it. The rest of the CD is great, very dance-able. (lets teach our children to dance people! It's a lost art!) My kids and I cut a rug to this all the time. A complete hit in our house.
