This is the most underrated and one of the greatest rock albums of all time. The lyrics are thought-provoking and extremely visual, and the songs are delivered with soaring, heart-wrenching vocals. From the anger of "Right Where I Belong," to the angst of "Be Somebody," to the sadness and love of "Landing in London," and the pure despair of "Father's Son" and "Here By Me," this is one album you just can't miss. None of the sex or language is too bad; there are mild swears (D**n, hell, etc.)in a couple songs, but Fathers Son is fairly graphic in sex and drug use. It is about a physically and sexually abusive man. The lyrics are filled with (as the CSM review said) overrought emotion, but aren't suicidally depressing. It is a VERY dark album, though, and I wouldn't reccomend it for anyone under 13.
