    I rate this title on for age 12 and give it 5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate language

    Not Boring!

    Geez, try to be a little more open-minded! It's great music and while there may be some "language", it's good stuff, and it is NOT generic, though I do prefer the second album.

    Absolutely Amazing.

    Psh if this stuff is boring then the sky is yellow. They sing about what they feel, about life situations, they put their emotions into the music, and the result is something wonderful and deep. So what if there are a few cuss words? Kids will hear that a LOT more at school at this age. Have you ever heard a 5th grader drop 5 f-bombs in 3 sentences? I have. Compared to that kid, this is completely clean.

    I rate this title iffy for age 12 and give it 5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Negative message

    Depressing and deep. Truely Amazing

    This album is filled with lyrical depth. "Home" describes a bad family situation in which a kid feels his house is not a home because of bad parents. The album subtly puts down shallow sexuality several times "Wake up", while being the most sexually and language explicit in the album describes an either emotionally or physically abusive boyfriend yelling at his girlfriend. "I must be running out of luck, cause she's just not drunk enough to f---" are the deep yet more adult lyrics from the song. The album is depressing as heck because it's messages are somber and straightforward.

    • Negative message

    Kathi Goldmark has no idea what she is talking about.

    Its a great album great band Kathi Goldmarks review should be taken down her review has nothing to do with it content she pretty much just says says she doesn't like it.

    3DG is anything but boring!! they're loud, they're awesome, and they're the best band out there in rock today! my only concern would be one f-bomb in "wake up" and a few s-words in "overrated" but besides that, it's an absolutely AWESOME album. nothing boring about it..sorry CSM but your review is far from right... songs i'd recommend listeing to: "i hate everything about you", "just like you", "let you down",and "scared"
