I really love Saliva's newer stuff and I haven't regretted buying "Six Seconds" or "Back into your System" once. Even their one song on the "Daredevil" soundtrack is awesome. But if you're used to that level of production/songwriting, this first self-titled CD will be a dissapointment. It only stands to reason that this CD isn't as good as their later stuff. Everyone that works hard gets better with time.

This saliva independant release sounds alot more rock than their later releases. I like this cd because its not as produced out of its ass like on the other albums, its straight up Saliva. Hip hop is definatly not part of this cd. So if you are wondering what saliva sounded like before they hit it big, check this out, its worth the price. My favorite song would have to be "Beg" and "Sand Castle".

Everything about this album seems so heartfelt: Scott's lyrics here surpass just about everything he's done afterwards, the guitars are dark and clangy and the whole album gives off an angsty, drugged-out feel they haven't approached since. Get this if you're into alternative metal that is inherently filthy.

This CD wasn't bad, although it dissapointed me a little because it wasn't quit on par with Back Into Your System and Survival Of The Sickest (both of which I'd give 5 stars). I would heavily reccommend the two afore mentioned Saliva CDs and say that this one was alright. Most bands get better with age; this CD was better than their self titled album.

This is the self titled debut album released in 1997 that showed 'Saliva' to the music world. This is a flawed release for the 13 track CD did not flow harmoniously or correctly from one song to the other but ended up sounding like a garbled mess of sound and thrashing lyrics being sung punk and rap style song by song from the lead vocalist. This is one album release I didn't enjoy and one album that won't be played in my music library for a long time to come. The only two songs worth listening to out of the 13 songs are 'Beg' and 'Suffocate'. This is a very unclear album release by Saliva and I pray they can only get better from this dismal failure. This is another missable album by Saliva.
