    This Finnish Christian band starts their Pinetree Hill album with the line "This is a planet full of (bleep)," describing in 'pop-punk' fashion the state of the world; and they use the same 's-word' in "Sick." While this may shock some, it should be understood that European culture has different language taboos. This kind of vernacular may not fly so well in the USA (you have been warned), but their brand of 'pop punk' sure will. The rest of the album is full of laments to the Lord (like the song "Monday," where it pleads: "Jesus, take me home to Your place..."), and praise offerings ("Thank You" ends with "Jesus, Lord, You are my life.").
