Parents need to know that this metal-meets-punk album contains
four-letter words and violent imagery, but also some very sweet content about love and separation.
Positive messages:The video for "Waking the Demon," included in the deluxe version, graphically depicts a high-school bullying victim's revenge on his tormentors.
Violence:Violent images on a few songs: "Kill your enemies, my brothers dead around me, wounds are hurting, death is creeping for me...chaos soon ignites."
This Album is one of the better metal albums out there. As an itellectual i highyl suggest, much to most of their detest, to allow and encourage their children to listen to metal music within certain boundaries, as the lyrics are still complex, open to interpretation, emotional and challenging. And the instrumentals are complex, ever changing, and interesting to dissect. The swearing in this album is Sesame Street when compared to garbage that is popular, like Emminem.
Love all of this album, especially 'Hearts Burst Into Fire'. If 'Tears Don't Fall' is on this album, then that's amazing too. Highly recommend it for any punk/metal lover.
For those of you who don't know the song scream aim fire is about war and how tragic it is, If you can look past the video for the song waking the demon (wich happens to be one of my favorites) you will see that the song is about being bullied and chooseing to stand up for yourself , and I think that makes the guys in BFMV good role models for showing kids that they don't have to take being bullied and that you can stand up for yourself. I also think that they are better role models than most of those popstars that the young kids seem to look up to, cause quite frankly ,have you ever seen pictures of the guys in BFMV drunk and stumbling out of a club splashed across the tabloids, I sure the heck haven't. They have a tough side as well as a sensitive side (hearts burst into fire, forever and always). I personally like their music, If I didn't already own both of their cds(the poison,&scream,aim,fire) I would definatley buy this cd for my kids.
Pretty righteous breakdowns and good screams. Epic melodies too
The f word is used once, I don't understand "frequently". These reviews are sorta lame sometimes, and usually not as bad as they're depicted. As a matter of fact, I didn't even realize it had an f in it till I read the lyrics. Cool song.
The best album to listen to if you're feeling down. So they say f--k a few times? So what? Bullet owns. Nothing too bad. If you can't handle the music then don't listen to it. Simple as that.
Okay! First of all, BFMV IS NOT PUNK ROCK!!!!!!! ITS METALCORE, (with a little screamo)
Second of all, its not so bad, just the first song is a little violent so what?! amazing album deserves a perfect rating!
(I mean no offense to the common sense community, however i still can't believe you'd get something like that wrong)
BFMV! My language arts teacher got me into them :) Thanks Mrs. CC... Matt is an amazing role model. And the garbage on it being violent- FFS... there standing up for themselves
i love the music.. but wouldnt let kids under 13 or kids whos parents dont like swearing but the music itself is awesome if u like that kinda metal/rock/screamo... but 2 thumbs up from me
Its not even violent when he turns into the wolf nothing happens screen turns black and he has bloody claws in "Waking the Demon"
Scream aim Fire is probably the only explicit song
Their good role models they believe in expressing their feelings through music
Positive message is all about love
In general this album is very good, but as far as adult content goes, the only bad song is scream aim fire. But it's really bad. The funny thing is it's probably the best song on the album, but it's basically about going on a killing spree. So I'd say 14+. This is a really good album musically, and it's surprising to see people that talented actually becoming slightly famous today.
BFMV is one of the best bands out there. Just because your ears are sensitive to the f bomb and loud music dosent mean its bad music. We enjoy the music because it helps us releive stress and 13 year olds have definatly already heard the F bomb. and probably a few more so why not allow people under 17 to buy this. your losing money so you need to fix this pronto. Im 16 and i can make my own decisions thank you.
