There isn't a whole lot of swearing in this album, even if it carries a Parental Advisory sticker. The tracks "Maps," "Y Control" and "Cold Light" stand out to me, though the whole album is good.

What Parents Need to Know
About Fever to Tell
Parents need to know that this CD may inspire a "Hey, I can do that!" reaction in teenagers, which is good. But the songs are unimpressive, with just enough gratuitous profanity for a parental advisory sticker, and not enough to bother providing an edited version.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how important it is that the integrity of the lyrics supports the quality of the music. In this case, the performers show a lot of talent in the way they sing and play their instruments, but weak lyrics bring down the end result.

They are a good band
They use some swear words. But when they do it's in a more artistic form, and not just using it to be "cool".

Yeah they are self-absorbed
YYY is a good band. They have a great deal of potential. Maps is an absolutely remarkable song, as is Y Control and Modern Romance. Some of their stuff is just ok but when they go for the Night Club rock style they hit it off really well. The songs are REALLY easy to play too.
