Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Positive messages (verging on preachy) about self-esteem and sticking up for what you know is right. There are lyrics about Christianity in two of the songs ("Let heaven open the skies/Pour upon you the reason to live your life without any doubt...A message to your Maker...are you lookin' for a Savior?").
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Some sappy love stuff; nothing explicit ("What a perfect surprise/You greet me with a kiss").
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Everlife

Parents need to know that the three young Ross sisters who are Everlife (part of the Disney family) -- seem intent on delivering a message of wholesome self-acceptance, often at the expense of good songwriting. Although this album is filled with positive messages for younger tweens, parents and older siblings are likely to grow impatient with the band's nonstop earnestness and lack of wit or subtlety. There are also some Christian references in two songs.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how bands associated with Disney become so popular. How does Disney promote its bands? Do you think it's subtle? Families can also talk about being in a band with your siblings. If your bratty little brother could play bass, would you invite him to play music with you? Do you think you and your siblings have the talent and discipline it takes to become a performing band?
