Once-whimsical pop rock band digs a little deeper.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this album is much less silly than the song's on the band's previous CD ("Fun and Games" takes a jab at the American government and the present-day politics), but the Barenaked Ladies still manage to keep their wit and harmonic vocals intact. There's nary a swear word or anything that would make this album inappropriate for kids. One note: If you don't have iTunes on your computer, you'll have to download a fairly complex recording program called UmixIt just to listen to the CD. If you're tech-savvy, the program has a lot of cool effects. If not, you may not be able to even figure out how to play the songs.
Violence:
"Fun and Games" is ironically the only song that's quite violent in content with references to war and world politics ("they were blown in half").
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
"Serendipity" mentions a girl working at Dairy Queen; "Down to Earth" speaks of a hippie in Versace.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
