What can I say?
The Strokes are a great band. One of the few mainstream bands that deserve their spotlight. I highly recommend this album.

Somewhat iffy, not sure if Common Sense Media is always right
A very good album. I heard this music when I was 11. I was fine when listened to it. Still, there may be a few uses of strong language. However, they are used as a noun rather than an adjective. There is not much in terms of drug material, just the line "We could go and get 40s." This album is not like that.

Fantasic!
I firmly believe that this album and The Strokes in general are better than anything your child could be listening to in the Rap/Hip Hop genre. There are a few f bombs, but nothing too obscene. Side note- The Strokes are my favorite band by far; just perfection.

LOVE THE STROKES
this is the best band ever, and i have no idea why common sense said this is 16+ and only said graduation by Kanye West is 14+. They also gave Graduation yellow for languae and that says the f word like over 10 times whereas this album only says it once. this is the best strokes album

THE STROKES ARE AMAZING!!!
Well there are no sexual references unless you are dumb or something, & they do swear like 5 times but there is pretty much swearing in a lot of songs nowadays. Also the song is called 12:51 not :51. Plus the alcohol reference really that isn't that big of a deal compared to what people listen to now.

Great album, not just for those 16+
There is some minor swearing, but nothing that you wouldn't hear walking through any American city. The Strokes present a strong, honest album here, and it is a definite follow-up to their last album, "Is This It". "Room on Fire" represents what may be the best period for this band. Also: CSM is quite crazy for rating this 16+. It's an absolutely appropriate album.
