Why We Rated This on for Ages 14 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    There's a refreshing anti-mass media message.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    The message is non-violent, if anything.

  • Sex:

    Nothing explicit; even the innuendo is comparatively tame.

  • Language:

    The "F" word appears a few times.

  • Consumerism:

    The CD unlocks access to exclusive internet ticket pre-sales.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    There are a few smoking and drinking references.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About A Crow Left of the Murder

Parents need to know that Incubus' fifth album doesn't disappoint. Teens will identify with the self-indulgent lyrics, and they'll also appreciate the loud, energetic music. Other than a few F-words, the language is mostly clean.

    I rate this title on for age 13 and give it 4.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate language

    Awesome!

    Great CD, although not as good as previous efforts, such as Make Yourself, S.C.I.E.N.C.E., or Morning View. A few f-words in one song and one song about sex, but it's pretty tame and not very obvious,

    Very good

    This is a great album, and was my favorite by Incubus until their new one came out, 'Light Grenades'. Don't know why it's not on here yet...
