No young kids
One song on this album is my favorite song, but they say a few f words. And this may teach younger people to say those words. There are no violence or sex issues though.

Awesome
This is the Offspring's Best album. Parents be warned, there is some swearing

Great!
I loved this! Sure, it cusses a lot, but it's nothing your kids haven't heard. Plus, it has some great messages about self expression! Definitely get this for your 11-year-old, and 9 and 10 year old's too, if they are decently mature.

Rise and Fall (Rage and Grace)
Yes, the Offspring curse. But they've toned it down since their last few albums. The graphic language is limited to two songs - "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" (which says dance, f--ker, dance four times and is about a sniper) and "Stuff is Messed Up", which repeats the phrase "s--t is f--ked up" five times while using a--hole once and mentioning a "boob job". Also, "Nothing Town" says "s--tty" once, and Hammerhead is about a school shooter. However, there are positive messages, such as "Kristy are You Doing Okay", which is about helping a friend in need. Overall, this is the Offspring's cleanest release, but should only be handled by teenagers.
