Parents need to know that many of the songs on this album are about being in a bad relationship or getting over heartbreak, but the music is mostly upbeat, not melancholy like a lot of alternative music can be. It's OK for teens and older who already know about relationships. The popular track "Real World" is featured on the best-selling video game Madden NFL 09, and the song "Gives You Hell" repeats "hell" about 30 times.
Positive messages:The majority of the songs on this album are about heartache, heartbreak, or getting over someone. One song deals with mourning someone who has died, ("Believe"), but the music is upbeat. Overall, the content is fine for teens and up.
Sex:Minor sexual innuendo. "I Wanna" says "I wanna touch you / you wanna touch me too.../ just put your hands on me." The song "Damn Girl" has overtly sexual lyrics, "I'll press your lips and I taste everyone that you've had tonight."
Language:"Damn Girl" has the word "damn" four times. "Gives you Hell" says "hell" repeatedly and "damn" a few times.

I like all the songs in this album. My favorite is Gives You Hell. I dont think u should get this album for kids that really shouldnt know ANY swear words yet(8-9 and under), so maybey get them some of the nicer albums first.
I just listened to this album and loved it first time. Great combination of tuneful vocals, electric and acoustic guitar, strong bass and well timed drums. There is some mild bad language including d*mn and h*ll. There are some sex references but nothing over the top. If you like rock that isn't too heavy then this album is for you.
i like this album. has some minor language but they use thise words multiple times. "I wanna" is slightly sexually bad. better of their albums but i like their older song better and these are Before the album all american rejects
The all american rejects rock. I love their current #5 iTunes song "Gives You Hell". They're my favorite band. My favorite bands include Green Day, Smash Mouth, All American Rejects, and Beatles. I hope they keep making more good songs like Dirty Little Secret, Gives You Hell, and Move Along (which by the way is a great album too). Keep rockin' AAR.
