Get Away from Me (by Nellie McKay, Pop)
common sense media says
A little unfocused but very original.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that a couple of well-used four-letter words pop up occasionally here, and earned this CD its Parental Advisory sticker. The edited version is hard to find; the explicit one is actually pretty tame compared to most stickered albums.
Violence:
A cat dies...
Sex:
Some innuendo.
Language:
A few of the more ordinary four-letter words earned this CD a Parental Advisory sticker, but it's really quite mild.
Consumerism:
Nothing obvious.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Several references to drinking.

One of a kind vocalpop-Older teens and adults.
Quality: 5 stars earned defiently! (however it may only appeal to adults), Nellie McKay's mixed debut is awesome-I wish I could rewind back to 2005 and award this album for being so awesome! Check out some of her songs on YouTube now!
Iffy material:
Violence: Many references to violent acts (very few are graphic), but nowhere near constant (i.e. "Have a pill or suicide", "If you don't I'll slit your throat", etc.) Also, "Ding Dong" frequently mentions a cat's death (but I don't know if it really happened.)
Language: Profanity earned this album a PA, but it is not very much, and only appears in 5 of the 18 songs.
Sexual content: "It's a Pose" contains a lot of suggestive lyrics, but nothing graphic.
Consumerism: Nellie's music sometimes shows up in an episode of Grey's Anatomy, P.S. I Love you, etc.
Substances: A few references to drinking, but no irresponsible behaviors
Role Models: All I know is that the back cover says that Nellie is a member of an animal-protection foundation. I know nothing else.
