Scream Aim Fire
- By Bullet for My Valentine
- Genre: Punk Rock
Common Sense Media says
Edgy metal/punk is graphic but has a sensitive side.

What parents need to know
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.
What's the story?
Separation
from sweethearts and viscerally visual images are the themes of Bullet
for My Valentine's second CD, SCREAM AIM FIRE. Trading energetic lead guitar
riffs with energetically-screamed vocals, the songs include a liberal sprinkling of four-letter words and images of flowing blood.
Is it any good?
Bullet for My Valentine balances their bad-boy posturing with a strong rhythm section and exceptional
guitar work. In this powerful collection, the band deals with the pain of loss
and the anxiety of separation head-on -- and includes expressive ballads along with the primal screams.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the song "Hearts Burst Into Flame,"
a song about being separated from a lover ("I've been far away, when I see your
face my hearts burst into fire!"). How do you handle separation from people you
love, whether temporary or permanent? Do you think it helps to write about your
feelings?

Great to mosh to :)
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.

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.

Complex, Witty, and great for mental growth?
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.

Scream Aim Fire
My favorite Bullet For My Valentine album so far. The Poison was great too, but all the tracks from this album are catchy and well preformed.

BFMV scream aim fire
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.

These Guys Ain't Got Nothin' On Atreyu!
These guys are alright, but for really good screamo/metalcore, look up Atreyu or The Devil Wears Prada.

I have been a BFMV fan for about 2 years. I have most of their cds and there is only 3-4 or maybe 5 explicit songs they ever recorded.

Awesome record :)
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.
