I have not listened to this CD, but recently purchased their "All That We Needed" for a pre-teen. Before purchasing I wondered what the lyrics were. I found out after we purchased.
There are more than several instances of suggestive lyrics regarding sex. Frankly, there is enough suggestive junk in every form of the media and I didn't want it or need it here for my pre-teen to listen to. Do yourself a favor and buy something else. Their music might be the greatist to many, but all they sing about is broken relationships and I don't need that filling my kids head. There are so many other positive things to fill your head and soul with.
PERFECT FOR YOUNGER TEENS/OLDER TWEENS, MAYBE FOR UNDER AGE 10
The only inappropriate parts are "d--n" used in "So D--n Clever" frequently, "Friends Don't Let Friends Dial Drunk" being about drinking, and the whole album is about love, but you can't really call it inappropriate, because there is nothing near explicit.
This cd is pretty awesome and it includes everybody's favorite "Hey there Delilah"I LOVE that song.About the stuff that common sense put iffy's on,they are all found in the lyrics.But it's hard to understand what they are saying.This kind of music is much better than happy annoying High School Musical,or worse, Hannah Montana,thats my opinion at least.Let Good Music Live!
They are a great band and its a great way to start a love of music with them.
In their music video Our time NOW it talks a little sex quote(nervous hands greatful smiles), but it stills gets my vote for a grammy!
