Why We Rated This on for Ages 10 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The album stays away from talk of sex, drugs, and partying, proving that you can rock out without that stuff.  Its overall message is a positive one for kids.  

  • Role models:

    Despite a few eyebrow-raising lyrics, such as "Let's sneak out and plan to crash the car," the artists on this album manage to keep it collectively clean, serving as a good group of role models for young adults. 
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Nothing too shocking, though a few mild mentions, such as "Can't remember anything she said, all I know is I woke up in her bed."

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
