5.0 out of 5 stars excellent debut, January 11, 2003

saliva is now the new next big band and this is one hell of a start. josey scott has one beautiful voice. the music is quite mixed. mostly on the heavy side but there is a mix of styles from punk to metal and some rap/hip hop influenced metal but always melodic and always good. i think saliva truly stand on their own as far as style. nobody sounds like them and they sound like no one. there are obvious influences but i think they mix it up well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Talented and cool, May 14, 2000

This review is from: Saliva (Audio CD)

Upon first listening to this cd my first thought of Saliva was that they were just another generic alt/rock band in the vein of Buckcherry. However, after continuously listening to the cd over and over I concluded that I was dead wrong and that Saliva are an extremely talented and unique band with a very bright future.

The music is very straight-forward with solid work all on fronts, combining the drums, bass, and guitars into a well-oiled machine of music that is at times rock, alt, popcore, tripmetal, even some nu-metal. Never really that aggressive there is more of an emphasis on melody and catchy riffs that won't have the listener head-banging but just flowing with the music. Very engaging.

At first I thought the vocalist had a very annoying voice, and at times it still is, featuring a kind of nasal, higher pitched sound. Over time you find that the lead singer's voice as well as the backing vocals, though kind of annoying, actually complement the music. Lyrically the songs are straight-forward and kind of childish but feature memorable and cool choruses. Add some more depth to the vocals and more intelligent songwriting and this will definitely help improve this band. Where it is now though this is very good radio rock.

There are some really great songs on this cd, some very annoying songs and some that are just mediocre creating an album that is good. "Sand Castle" is the best song on the cd featuring a very cool melodic chorus and is a fusion of alt/rock and nu-metal. "Call it Something" is another good song with a memorable chorus and is more of a radio-friendly pop song, very mellow. "Beg" is kind of a nu-metal type song that starts the cd out on a good note. "Greater Than Less Than", "Cellophane", "Tongue", and "Pin Cushion" are all solid hard rock songs with melodic choruses and soothing music. Some of the other songs show promise but just don't have that special something to make them memorable.

With an upcoming major label debut on the horizon, Saliva has the talent to make it big in the music industry. Not really showcasing anything too unique or different, they combine enough different genres into a mix to create music finely tailored. Give them a few years and they will definitely improve. Check them out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saliva - Memphis's Own, December 19, 1999

Hey guys, I talked with Josie last night and the frontman said they're signed with Al Geffen records. This CD is awesome, but it is about 3 years old. They have matured into something even better. The original drummer is gone...now Paul keeps the beat. You need to buy this record before there are no more left. After that, you'll have to "BEG" for a copy. This band will headline really soon. Real Rock from the SOUTH!
