What parents need to know
Parents need to know that the lead single "Hollywood's Not America" was featured on American Idol for two weeks as the show's farewell song. There's some sexual talk and situations on the album, but overall the language and content is fine. One song ("Beautiful Life") might have implications of suicidal thoughts, but it may just be about having a bad day. Either way, it's not too dark or morbid -- more poetic license, it seems.
Violence:
Nothing explicit, just implications: "Everybody Bleeds the Same" speaks about the same pain/death in all of us ("Anywhere you land/anyone you kill/you're gonna find that everybody bleeds the same/everybody feels the same pain") and "Something About You" ("There's something about you/you kill my suicide").
Sex:
Some sexual language/situations, but nothing degrading or overtly inappropriate: "Blame" ("blame blame blame/for bang bang bangin' you" and "it was your rule that we wake up alone") and "Take my lips and make them yours/I want to take your body and make love that lasts for a lifetime."
Language:
"Hell," "bulls--t" appear a few times.
Consumerism:
Kids might know about Ferras from American Idol.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
One reference to cigarettes, smoking. "Rush" and "Something About You" have some metaphorical drug talk ("It's a rush I can't explain/like you shot something crazy in my veins...I'm a junkie over you" and "I'm Prozac numb").
