Try This (by Pink, Rock)
common sense media says
Sensational performer who doesn't hold back.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that if you don't want to hear the "F" word, don't buy this album. If you don't mind this particular word, you'll find some exceptional rock & roll and an all-too-rare girl-power message on this CD.
Violence:
A teasing S&M sensibility, mostly innuendo.
Sex:
There's some pretty explicit sexuality.
Language:
This CD is brought to you by the letter "F."
Consumerism:
No obvious tie-ins here.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
There's a sad anti-drug song, and a few other references here and there.

A disapointment
"Try This" isn't a bad album, but it is a huge disapointment when you consider that it follows "M!ssundaztood", Pink's wonderful second album. The clean version of this CD isn't that bad. The f-word shows up, but it's only obvious on "God is a DJ". On "Last To Know" it is edited pretty thoroughly. The obscene hidden track is not on the edited version. "Oh My God" is sexual but not too explicit. However, all in all Try This is skippable.

Maybe age 16
There are some bad messages about being Trouble, using people, S & M, Dreams about sex, Lying to your mom for a boy, Going on Drugs again, and writing love songs and having sex when you still aren't sure if you are in love yet. This album has name calling to (Stupid F**k) and plenty of swears F**k, S**t and a**. The songs with bad messages and swears are- Trouble, God is a DJ, Last to Know, Tonight is the Night, Oh My God, Catch Me While I'm Sleeping, Save My Life, Try to Hard, Humble Nabors, and Love Song. The ones that are okay for ages 8+ are "Walk Away"- about not staying in a relationship if you aren't happy. "Unwind"- About going with your gut and trusting you. AND LAST is "Waiting For Love"- it is a sad song about a lonly girl praying and waiting, it will let people know they are not alone. So some sexual stuff, bad swears, and mild drinking. Allthough this album doesn't have a perfect message, swearing and S & M, but behind all of that, the message is to follow your heart and walk away.
