Why We Rated This for Ages 10 and Up

The good stuff

• Messages:

  Songs about bonds ("Friends": "yeah my friends they are so beautiful"), loyalty, and getting through tough times reflect the spirit of the movie.

What to watch out for

• Role models:

  Moody and angst-ridden, many of the songs look at love as an all-consuming emotion capable of making or breaking a spirit.
• Violence:

  Some dark images created by lines like "Outside the door he's dead, his head in his hands, and his heart is broke." Nothing really frightening or graphic though.
• Sex:

  Although most of the songs are about love lost, there are a few flirty moments, like this line from "Violet Hour" by Sea Wolf: "Your back's a meadow, covered in snow, your thighs are thistles, and hot-house grapes, you breathe your sweet breath, and have me wait.
• Language:

  Not an issue.
• Consumerism:

  The Twilight characters figure heavily in the album art and work to promote the film's release.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  A reference to champagne can be found on the song "Shooting the Moon."
