Newlyweds face common struggles, but remain committed on “No One Said It Would Be Easy.” “Can’t Cry Anymore” expresses concern for a brother with “real problems,” including heroin use.
Getting “a good beer buzz in the morning” is endorsed on the irresponsible anthem “All I Wanna Do.” Recreational drug and alcohol use also appears on “Leaving Las Vegas,” “Run, Baby, Run,” and “The Na-Na Song.” The latter spews crude, nonsensical references to male genitalia. Other cuts recommend relational dishonesty and commitmentless sex.
This salacious disc took six months to become an overnight sensation. The Grammy-winning single “All I Wanna Do” may have a catchy chorus, but teens are just as likely to catch hold of Crow’s disturbing worldview. One to avoid.
