What Parents Need to Know

About The Big Bang

Parents need to know that this CD is loaded with four-letter words, violent imagery, and exploitive sexuality. Still, the album contains some interesting social commentary and imaginative musical arrangements.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the visceral power of certain words, and whether or not the same point could be made in a different way. Challenge your teens to write songs about their own lives, neighborhoods, and fears -- with cleaner language.
