The Memphis quintet known as Saliva has come a long way; with a gold album (EVERY SIX SECONDS), and a Grammy nomination ("Your Disease") behind them, the band is still playing for keeps. The presence of more melody, and the decreased prominence of rapcore vocals are the standout traits made obvious upon initial spins of the aptly titled BACK INTO YOUR SYSTEM. For the band's second offering on Island, Saliva delivers another set of film soundtrack-ready, angst-filled anthems.

"Superstar II" picks up where "Superstar" (from EVERY SIX SECONDS) left off, continuing the observations of vocalist Josey Scott as he adjusts to life in the music business machine. The album's title track pairs rap verses with melodic choruses, a style not overused on the rest of the album. Written especially for Saliva by close friend and Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx, "Rest In Pieces" has all the elements of the requisite power ballad. Saliva will have little difficulty getting back into many systems with this impressive follow up. (Courtesy of MTV.com)
