Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 14–15

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    It's really all over the place -- some great positive messages, also darkly negative ones.

  • Violence:

    A fair amount of violent imagery, some of it with a message on nonviolence.

  • Sex:

    Some sexual innuendo.

  • Language:

    A couple of four-letter words.

  • Consumerism:

    Nothing to worry about.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Several references to drugs and drinking, in a cartoon-y way.

    I rate this title on for age 12 and give it 5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate language

    Great band

    You can't exactly complain about language, because half the time you can't understand what they're saying. Fantastic music, nearly all the songs are good (usually there are quite a lot of duds on any album). Try the first Gorillaz album if you like electonic sound.

    Great CD

    I love it. I love it. I love it! This is an awesome Cd. Though not marked explicit, It still uses some foul language. But still a great Cd. Recommended for responsible children.

    This band has a cause

    Sure, some of these songs adress "dark" topics, but tis band is all for the environment and mostly wants to get a message across. The band has a bunch of great cellos and violins that mix with electronics to make great sound. This band is great and kids should have no problem listening to it.
