Saliva
Every Six Seconds
Island
Rating: 2.5 Flaming Goat Heads
This Memphis quintet is reminiscent of Monster Magnet in song construction, vocal ideas, and thick, heavy sound. But where Magnet succeeds in making some rather 80s ideas sound unlike 80s music, Saliva fails. Singer Josey Scott is a cross between Pantera's Phil Anselmo and Duran Duran's Simon Le Bond - although his anger sounds forced, his tone during the Duran-ish melodies of "Greater Than" and "Lackluster" is seasoned and pleasant. The verse raps of "Doperide" and "Your Disease" are slightly above average for a white-man Ego Rock band, but the heavy ballad "Hollywood" is sappy in nature and uninspired in performance. Every Six Seconds sounds too mapped out, like you're listening to a spreadsheet - the album doesn't go hard enough in any one direction to make its walk notable as anything but a forced march down the centerline, where there is never enough action to hold attention.-Cliff Frantz
