Parents need to know that despite the album's name, this collection of songs isn't really "evil," but is actually both eclectic and poetic – and fine for young teens (although the lack of simple narrative to follow may make younger listeners tune out completely). The title track encourages loving whoever we want despite what others say and promotes "no racial boundaries" and "no social subdivisions."
Positive messages:The title track encourages loving whoever we want despite what others say and promotes "no racial boundaries" and "no social subdivisions." Though "Librarian" is primarily about the sexy little librarian, it also speaks to the ills of anorexia, citing Karen Carpenter as "another lovely victim of the mirror's evil way."
Violence:Nothing overtly violent to be found, but one song repeatedly asks "did you see my smoking guns/they're smoking from shootin' at nothing here"
Sex:"Librarian" is an ode to a "simple little bookworm" who has "the sexiest librarian" buried underneath.
I never knew that there could be so many different songs on a single album. Every single song sounds totally different from the others! Compelling, steady lyrics on "I'm Amazed", eerie "Touch Me I'm Going To Scream", and wild "Evil Urges". Fascinating album!
