I'm now 19 years old, and I bought this when I was 16. This is the sound of a band bidding for some musical maturity after they got all the rock and roll kicks out of the way. Yea, there is a naked woman on it, and some animal about to be butchered. All the adult content references here really aren't anything that you couldn't sit down and discuss with your kid. Put things into perspective for him or her, and you got a really enjoyable record here. These guys are good musicians; my mom would let me play them in the car. That says something :)

What Parents Need to Know
About First Impressions of Earth
Parents need to know that this CD isn't geared toward kids. There's enough profanity to warrant a Parental Advisory sticker. The liner notes include a painting of a topless woman and an animal carcass waiting to be butchered. There are some lyrics about using alcohol, including drinking as a way to handle relationship woes.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why indie bands like The Strokes are considered sell-outs for becoming more mainstream. Why do fans punish bands for becoming more well-known? What does "indie" mean these days?

Good Listen For Someone Who Wants Something New
This album consists of 1 "f" word and 2 "s" words. It's not that bad for a Parental Advisory.
