Album Description
For gold-selling Memphis turbo-rockers Saliva, the past couple years of their decade-long career have brought an ocean swell of change. One or more members have had children, stopped drinking, ended longterm relationships, gotten married and/or left the group, and each instance has been accompanied by a new sense of clarity. As a result, Saliva's fifth album Blood Stained Love Story resounds with a previously untapped level of passion, energy, sincerity and diversity, not to mention an undeniable melodicism that will endear the band to anyone that feels any sort of connection between reality and music. "I think we've all been through a blood stained love story of one type or another," says frontman Josey Scott. "It's kind of a metaphor for how things can be a certain way for so long, and then within a day, they just change and you're on this whole other path." Blood Stained Love Story is an album of growth, a realization that there are more important things in life than cover stories, photo shoots and big Hollywood parties. But while it may be more mature than Saliva's past efforts, it's no less turbulent. |
Amazon.com
Long derided by critics as unoriginal and uninspired, Saliva has gained popularity among legions of rock & roll fans eager to celebrate good times with a bottle of domestic beer at their sides and their fists thumping high, high in the air. Blood Stained Love Story seems unlikely to change critical minds--much of the album, including "Ladies and Gentlemen," "Never Gonna Change" and the unimaginatively titled "Twister" comes off like warmed-over '80s hair metal. While it's true that the record features blazing guitar leads and drumming that'll hasten the beats of the average rock-starved heart, it seems unlikely that it––or the band that created it––will make an entry into the pantheon of timeless rock & roll. Thoroughly disposable. ––Jedd Beaudoin |

Hey, who took the Rock away? Buy Fozzy if you want a great CD by Anthony Pittman  2 Stars
April 17, 2008
This appears to be the Saliva 'Ballads' Cd....the band from the first couple CD's is long gone, and a pop band with a ton of slow ballads has taken their place. Great band in concert, but this doesn't represent the band at all. Check out the new Fozzy All that Remains Reloaded CD if you want to hear an incredible rock/metal CD with ZERO ballads

Different but really good by Instep95 (Beyond the Stars) 5 Stars
March 26, 2008
I have been a fan since "Every Six Seconds". I saw the video for "your disease" and I was hooked.
This CD is different but it has alot going for it. Sure they are leaning towards a more mellow sound at times but that is just the nature of growing up. Critics write off 90% os the rock bands that have ever recorded.
This CD is cool. It is fast, slow, in between, sad, happy, and pissed off all at the same time. I have met the band twice and to meet them is to understand their music even more. They have a way of singing what they feel and not worry because they know people will relate to them.

Terrible. Poppy. Not the Saliva I Know. by David L. Toth (Portland, OR)  1 Stars
January 16, 2008
This album is poppy, whiney, and overall a catastrophe. I was utterly surprised to see that only about 2 or 3 tracks rock and the rest is mainstream sounding garble. I agree that Saliva should have changed and evolved their sound from their previous albums as the rap/rock was getting outdated and overplayed, but this was an extreme case of the "Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhs!" Skip it.

by Saliva
Saliva's heavy rock--with a dash of rap--is at once current and timeless, unlike many of the bands spawned by Korn and Limp Bizkit. This Memphis-bred bunch's powerful, diverse debut features a dozen lyrically and musically focused tracks from a band clearly possessed of strong chops and smart heads. Rangy singer Josey Scott's passionate delivery works well when matched with the chunky riffing of "Musta Been Wrong," the soaring, layered song's intensity balanced by shredding guitar. Every Six...

Saliva frontman Josey Scott unintentionally elevated his band above countless nü metal clones by teaming up with Nickelback's Chad Kroeger to write and record the song "Hero" for the Spider-Man soundtrack. The tang of mainstream success was exactly what the Memphis, Tennessee, group needed to break away from the pack on Back into Your System. This follow-up to its major-label debut, Every Six Seconds, ups the heavy atmospherics and dyspepsia. "Always" takes on the touchy subject of domestic...
