Parents need to know that the five members of The Cab make an effort to come across as nice guys. With a clean-cut image and an album of bouncy love songs, they're tween-safe and appealing.
Positive messages:Innocuous and self-absorbed; with an impressive density of clichés, but no particular message.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:One or two references to drinking as a metaphor for attraction: "I need your attention/it's like the alcohol…your scent is the rum/the room is a bottle/keeping me hopeless until I wake tomorrow."

The Cab is an amazing band! I love this album, and I think that anyone who doesn't is crazy. The songs are awesome, and very danceable. Alex Deleon, the lead singer, has an incredible voice and clever lyrics.
Whilst good, this overview of the album does not impress me.
Apologies, but whilst various things said here are appropriate and correct, some of the comments made on this album are unfair
To start, perhaps you should not be so fast to gloss over the meaning this band are actually evoking in their work, various songs are very consistent with the ideas of having faith and keeping strong no matter the situation and I know they have personally helped me. I do recognise these ideas are hardly groundbreaking, but they deserve more credit than given here.
Also, as a side note, the band did not rely on fancy connections to gain the small success they have. Their singer, Alex, gave a demo to Panic! at the Disco which they paid attention to due to it's catchy and talented contents, suggesting that just perhaps, the boys have attained what they have thus far on their own merit. (And is it so wrong that others in the industry and on their record label chose to help promote them? Not really.)
Borderline suggestive lyrics, I interpret them as sexualy charged.
I don't know who rated the lyrics, but they didn't listen very closely. The song Bounce is about sex, plain as day. 13 yes. 11 ? no.
"And when you use your lips they better be on me" 'Liars turn me on" "I put bodies into motion/Keep this skin out in the open/Liars turn me on" are just a few of the lyrics I personally found borderline. And I'm pretty liberal with what I allow.
