What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Rock Band 2 features this 1988 album, which deals with some very dark subject matter, including sexualized violence, child abuse, and drug addiction (which has plagued band members over the years). Although a lot of the lyrics get buried beneath the music, the chant "sex is violent" is repeated many times in the "Ted, Just Admit It," which also includes an audio clip of serial killer Ted Bundy. The album has some profanity, but it's not excessive by today's standards.
Violence:
"Had a Dad" deals with child abuse and "Standing in the Shower...Thinking" references a violent relationship ("Is my woman afraid of me? ... She let me twist her good"). "Ted, Just Admit It" is about serial killer Ted Bundy and includes the lyrics "Now sister's/not a virgin anymore/her sex is violent" (the chorus is "sex is violent").
Sex:
There are no descriptions of sex acts, but the cover features an arty but explicit photo of two naked women. Some lyrics deal with sexualized violence.
Language:
A few instances of "f--k" and "s--t."
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
"Jane Says" is about a heroin addict.
