About Scream Aim Fire

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.

    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.

    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.

    I rate this title iffy for age 14 and give it 3.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate language

    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.

    good for ages 10 and up

    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)
