Reading Christian Music Reviews.

[BenW]

One of my new favorite hobbies.
It's quite a lollercoaster.

If you care to post any good ones you find, that would be radical.

OMFG! AHAHAHAHAHA

I love their reviews of Marilyn Manson. I didn't even know that K-Mart and Walmart refuesd to carry Holy Wood.

One of my favorite parts:

Hinder - Extreme behaviour

Objectionable Content

That black bar on the CD cover wasn't Hinder's idea; it's our stab at censoring a racy image of a lingerie-clad groupie. Such '80s-rock hedonism invades the lyrics, too. Winkler wants to "Get Stoned" and make out with a hostile woman ("'Cause the sex is so much better when you're mad at me"). Cigarettes on the floor and panties on the doorknob mark a night of wild, drunken sex with a girl whose name escapes him ("Room 21"). A vodka-swilling guy prefers intoxicated "Bliss" to facing reality, while a malicious ex tells the singer she plans to perform oral sex on his best friend ("Nothin' Good About Goodbye"). "Better Than Me" reminisces about physical intimacy, including a tryst in a mall dressing room. Winkler uses the f-word and an obscene gesture to dismiss a girl who dumped him, still obsessed with how a new lover may be touching her ("How Long"). There's more language, plus photos of alcohol use.


Summary Advisory

Hinder is on record as saying it wants to revive an era when rockers' decadent lifestyles transcended the music. Booze. Pot. Casual sex with fans. Encourage adolescents to avoid their Extreme Behavior.

Making out with a hostile woman. :lol: Oh honey, you're so hostile tonight. Let's make out and annoy the religious right.

That track repeats a mild profanity. Mayer asks,

System of a Down - Toxicity

Objectionable Content
System of a Down will confuse young fans by feeding them an anything-goes theological stew. They suggest that God is female on "Jet Pilot." In the liner notes, guitarist Daron Malakian "thanks God, Buddha, Allah and Lucifer because they are all so lovely" (not to mention Charles Manson "for his inspiration and honesty"). On "Prison Song," the band wants to fix the prison system by decreasing law enforcement and eliminating mandatory sentencing for minor drug offenders. Police brutality should be condemned, but officers are painted with a broad brush as badge-wearing thugs ("Deer Dance"). "Needles" angrily repeats, "Pull the tapeworm out of your a--!" Also, Sigmund Freud would’ve had a field day interpreting the erotic pogo stick metaphor on "Bounce."

Funny shit if you ask me. Some they seem to be really grabbing as straws to find good

 

[Kavalan]

I'm curious how many of their reviews consist of no pro social content currently at three
Marilyn Manson - Holy Wood
Nivana - In Utero
Slipknot - Slipknot
Uncle Kracker - Double wide (Don't know them but seemed like a nice country band)

Will add as I find em

 

[bamf]

These people have no understanding of music, metaphors, or just about anything else. It's hilarious!

Made me laugh this morning.

The Bloodhound Gang
Hooray for Boobies

ProSocialContent

ObjectionableContent
From the CD’s breast-obsessed cover art to a liner photo of the band lying intertwined with nude women, this disc sets out to shock and titillate. Obscene tracks solicit oral sex from a porn star ("The Ballad of Chasey Lain") and animalistic intercourse ("The Bad Touch"). Masturbation is a common theme, involving everything from Silly Putty to pictures of livestock. In fact, "Yummy Down on This" finds the singer wishing he could perform fellatio on himself. On "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When the Stripper Is Crying," a man pays a minor for sex and fantasizes about Jesus sodomizing Mickey Mouse with a lawn dart. Other blasphemous tracks include "Hell Yeah," which mocks the death of Christ. "Mope" is about flatulence, cruising for 8th-grade girls, drugs, alcohol and more. Hateful ranting consumes "I Hope You Die" with targets as innocent as Jerry’s Kids, a disabled Vietnam veteran and orphans having Christmas :inner (it also mentions necrophilia). The twisted "Mama’s Boy" and "Three Point One Four" are sexually preoccupied.

SummaryAdvisory
One of the most perverse, diseased releases in recent memory. Blasphemy, unconventional sex, anger, obscenities and substance abuse make this awful disc a no-brainer. Don’t let these Bloodhounds sniff out your teens.

The Score
ProSocialContent

None
ObjectionableContent

A near-constant stream of profanity flows through more than 73 minutes of audio sludge. Glorifications of violence include bragging about a robbery ("Ready or Not"), hateful threats against police ("Red Intro"), gang shootings ("The Score"), planning an assassination ("Zealots") and much more. The artist invites Newt Gingrich to engage in oral sex ("The Beast") and decries black-on-black violence by stating, "Only problem we have is killing the people who don't look like us who oppress us/S---, you wanna impress me? Shoot the muthaf----- who turned off my lights/Shoot somebody who makin' my bills high." Other tracks recommend smoking marijuana, downing whiskey sours and drinking moonshine. The trio's theology is a disturbing blend of Rastafarianism, voodoo and a warped view of Christianity. The title cut finds a man in a bar boasting of a sexual conquest.
SummaryAdvisory

Its rasta-reggae flavor is all that sets this effort apart from run of the mill gangsta trash. Incessant profanity. Drugs. Alcohol. Murder. Take the parental advisory seriously and point teens away from The Score.

...and fantasizes about Jesus sodomizing Mickey Mouse...

I can tolerate a lot but here is where I have to draw the line! I'm glad I was warned!

 

[BenW]

I like the bad puns they always try to work into the "summary advisory" part.

 

[Matariki]

Too bad that the site dosn't mention metal (not much of it anyway).
Although I was suprised to see Alice in Chains on their website.

 

[NeverAmI]

Wow, that site is freakin crazy.

OMG, real life creeps into music??? WE CAN'T HAVE THAT!!! Quick! Smile wide and act happy and wholesome!!!

 

[BenW]

It's part of Focus on the Family, a fundie propaganda thinktank headed by this crazy motherfucker.

Oh seriously, no one noticed this? Yeah, I'm acting like a teenage boy.


That CD does sound a little intense, though. Good gracious.

Imagery on a couple of tracks is sensual and suggestive. Death Cab for Cutie
