Saliva - Moving Forward in Reverse: Greatest Hits


It's quite ironic when the most famous song associated to a band isnt sung by the band but sung by it's lead singer (Josey Scott sang on 2002's 'Hero' with Chad Kroeger). The fact that song isnt on this album is, well a shame! One nice surprise was the number of songs Saliva have done that I recognised, though had never realised it was them..............the odd WWE intro songs show where these guys lie in the USA.

It's big budget rock with the big hair, but unfortunetly for Saliva there are a lot of bands out there now who do this so much better eg Nickelback. The only new song on the album “Time To Shine” is again being used by the WWE, but again I've heard better done by other bands.

This album shows the band's ability to create arena rock anthems in the past, but for the future these guys will have to go some to stand out from the crowd. Don't get me wrong it's an enjoyable album to listen when you are out in the car, but the world of music is changing and these guys will need to change too if there are going to continue as a band.
