What Parents Need to Know
About Sawdust
Parents need to know that while there are references to sex, violence, and drugs on this popular band's CD, they're subtle. The lyrics are very poetic, and most of the intense or iffy stuff will go over kids' heads. That said, younger kids might get frustrated that they don't "get" the songs.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about releasing an album with B-sides -- or songs that didn't make it on the original album. Why do bands put out something like this? Does it get more hype than a regular LP? Is it a ploy to sell more or just have your work heard? Or, is it both? Families can also talk about the interesting album cover. Is it a broken tree branch or a dismembered arm on the cover? Is it both? And what does it mean?

a lovely album
this album is just really sweet! i mean, idk, in most albums there is usually some sort of story line or theme or something and theres always drama and so much emotion (which is a good thing) but this is just a bunch of random songs that dont have anything to do w/ eachother! its like listening 2 an album when ur younger, just a bunch of random songs! its a really refreshing album w/ tunes like glamorous indie rock and roll, romeo and juliet, and the ballad of valentine. at first i was kinda disapointed since it wasnt really an alubm, but now i really like it!

For Diehard Fans
While this album isn't fantastic, it has some great pieces. Some tracks are obvious why they didn't make the final cut, but the first few tracks- especially "Tranquilize" and "Shadowplay"- are your best bets despite the darker undertones that differ from previous songs by The Killers.
