Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 13–14

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Some songs seem to have missed the concept of feminism altogether.

  • Violence:

    Some disturbing phrases (such as "pistol whip") on edited songs.

  • Sex:

    Some innuendo.

  • Language:

    A few edited songs make it VERY clear what words have been edited.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    A couple of references here and there.
