What Parents Need to Know
About The Colour and the Shape
Parents need to know that this album was first released in 1997 and is now being featured in the widely popular video game Rock Band 2. Cutting lyrics about relationships and a hard-rock sound are tempered by the band's ironic humor and simpler tracks, making the songs age-appropriate for teens.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how alternative rock has changed in the decade since this album was first released. Is alternative rock now mainstream rock? Is there a new alternative sound? Also do you think video games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero have played a critical role in introducing classic rock bands to a new generation of listeners? Do you think today's current music will be popular in 10 or 20 years as well?

A word of caution
I thought that I should probably mention that this album has an f-word in the song "My Poor Brain." there is also a brief swear word in "Monkey Wrench." After reading this review, I bought the album and was caught off guard by the swearing. But other than that, I love this CD. But parents out there should be weary.
