    I rate this title iffy for age 11 and give it 3.0

    OK Cd for 11+

    Bad stuff: some sex talk like: making love and lying together. d*** is written in the lyrics to Fogive Me but not sung. that song is about a married woman cheating on a partner.

    What's up with the bleeding ?

    The images in the lyric just bug me, and creep me out a little to. It's actually a great song and well sung too but I just can't get past the words.
