Radio tag showing on Rage Valley by Knife Party

[FrostLab]

This played yesterday(or very close to that recently).  Notice it shows "RADIO" next to the title.  That leads me to believe that it's supposed to be a "Radio edit."  However, the lyrics it shows, edited slightly(b**ch), were NOT edited in the audio, at which point I paused it so I could address it here on the forum.  I noticed it has a piece of music of the same name & artist below under "Similar Songs" & THAT version clearly shows the red Explicit symbol to the right thereof.  This leads me to believe that the song that played un-edited has similar, if not identical, audio & is mislabeled.

• Name of the station: "Dubstep: Knife Party, Blue Stahli, Celldweller, & Quartus Saul"
• Date/time track(s) played: I think it was yesterday(2026-1-26)
  
• Name(s) of the artist(s): Knife Party
  
• Title(s) of track(s): Rage Valley 
• Able to give it a Thumbs down?: Yes
  
• Pandora Mode in which channel was being listened to: "My Station" (the standard default)

Thanks moderators/Pandora staff 4 yur attention 2 this recurring issue.

Moderator Edit: Edited title for clarity

@FrostLab Nice to see you around the community.

To clarify, the Radio tag does not indicate that the track is censored. It indicates that the track cannot be played on-demand.

Although the majority of the songs in our collection will be eligible to be played without restrictions, you may encounter a portion of songs that are unavailable or labeled "Radio Only" due to our current licensing restrictions. 

We are continuously working on increasing the amount of songs which can be played on stations, on-demand, or offline. Our intention is to provide enough music you enjoy to avoid any inconvenience around this.

To clarify, when that track played on your station, was it playing a censored version? Or did the correct explicit audio play for the track?

Let me know.

Please see the post's original text(quoted below), which answers your question.

"However, the lyrics it shows, edited slightly(b**ch), were NOT edited in the audio, at which point..."

...no, the track that played was NOT playing the censored version.

The point of the post was more to point out the system's recurring failure to filter out clearly explicit content than call attention to a mislabeling that has a much less significant impact on the listener who's specifically set their settings so that they shouldn't hear such content.(incase U wanna update the title again -shrugs-)  The info about the mislabeling  was just something I thought would also be useful to those trying to keep things making sense.  Hope it helps!
