Avril is anything but whiny. Hot Topic CD version is different.
First of all, I must make a correction to what was said in the review by commonsense. Avril Lavigne's song "Alice" is one of the best on the CD. It could have gone without the Owl City song, that's not even real music, that's a computer. Now that I have that out of the way, let's talk about the different versions of the CD. If you buy the CD on iTunes, yes it's perfectly acceptable for any age, aside from drug+alcohol references. The Hot Topic version of the CD (which is what I bought) has one song on it that pushes it a little, which is "Sea What We Seas" by Never Shout Never. He's a fantastic artist, but he likes to swear. He says 'Life is just a melody so why don't all the p*ssy people come along and sing it with me." and sings it repeatedly about 10 or so times. But other than that, it's a great song.

follow me down is kinda annoying
I only have "Follow Me Down" by 3OH!3 from this cd on my iPod. It gets kinda annoying after 5 times of listening to it. I still don't know how you pronounce 3OH!3.

Good Songs, but make me feel more suicidal...
I like it, although when I listen to it at school I get extremely depressed.. (those are the only songs on my MP3 anyway because the blasted thing deleted the rest of the songs) Some songs are pretty good, some songs I wonder if the artists even know they stink (no offence) Avril Lavine was really good, the TeaParty songs okay, sorta. "Where's my Angel" is a song I like, but concerns me. It sort of has a good rythem, but it has a whole suicidal refrence "Where's my angel.. go on and take my life" and "This will be the last dance"- "I need someone here tonight" its pretty depressing. I like that one song take me down, it seems to be much more cheerful. The rest down me, I like it, but like I said, it makes me feel gray, although it might not for others. Then again I'm too sensitive and have some sort of emotional problem, but I digress. I'd suggest kids maybe 12 and over, I know thats extreme, I'm just saying thats MY way, because If I had young kids, I'd try to fill their lives with cheerful things for awhile because that was something I lacked many times growing up. (Getting off the subject, sorry)

Questionable lyrics on "Tea Party" song
I too disagree with the commonsense review, both my 10 year old daughter and I think the best song on the CD is Avril Lavigne's song "Alice". My daughter's other favorites are "Follow Me Down" and "Tea Party". My inspiration to write this review, was to warn about annoying lyrics in the Kerli song "Tea Party". On first listen I deemed the album 'not over the line', but giving the song "Tea Party" a real listen I find the lyrics, while not crossing the line, are annoyingly and unnecessarily close to it. Lines like "Just try and nibble on my biscuits" - OK, kind of funny double meaning. But then, "Let's be non commissional, Got my elbows down, pinkies up, that's the way you sip my cup" - not so funny, parent radar alert. Then finally, "fatha mucka, try to show some class" - now wait right there. I know she REALLY didn't say it, but does the music have to stop right as she says it, so it's as clear as day what it sounds like she's saying?. The review says "Language: Not An Issue". All in all, that's not enough for me to discourage hearing the CD, I like a few songs myself. But compared to that song, the Grace Potter cover of Grace Slick's "White Rabbit" even with its sneaky 60s drug references seems tame, at least it has real Alice references. Maybe that's all I'm looking for, if your going to write the song like that, be sneaky or clever about it.

Dark Songs, Great CD
I really like this CD. I had to get it as soon as it came out! My favorite songs are "Alice", "Tea Party", "Strange", and "White Rabbit". I don't think it's inappropriate, just if your not 12, you won't understand the song's messages. They are quite dark, though, isn't that the point?

Smooth, cool alt. rock compilation has something for everyone.
Some complex and semi-not so happy songs, but its mostly good alternative rock. No cursing or stuff like that, but it's all based on the already strange, and made stranger by Tim Burton, world of Alice in wonderland. Some songs about unhappiness, but you can always overlook that. It' all good music. Enjoy!
