What Parents Need to Know
About Exile on Mainstream
Parents need to know that this CD is a greatest hits compilation of sorts that includes only six new songs and no explicit language ("hell" is as raunchy as it gets). Content is neatly settled in end-of-the-relationship, self-absorbed angst without dwelling too much on the depressing side of things. Many teens and tweens will find this comforting and validating -- a stroll through familiar territory in more ways than one.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what happens when a relationship seems to be hitting the skids. It's so easy to think only about yourself and your own pain. Can you think of some things you might do to help yourself get over it and move on? Some kids talk to their friends, keep a journal, or create songs, poems, stories, or paintings. How about you?

A Must Listen to for Fans of Matchbox Twenty
I enjoyed listening to this CD. A couple of the new songs are a little mediocre, but the majority of the new songs are pretty good. And the CD also includes old favorites like Bent, If Your Gone, Bright Lights, Disease, etc... I would recommend this to all people
