Haha. Agreed. It reminded me of Mr. Bungle at their most experimental. They'd certainly never recorded anything like that before.

You know, you're right. The song even starts out by being self-referential, which is an artistic maneuver that can typically fly over people's heads, much like a jumbo jet flying over the head of a deaf man. I mean, it's just trying to be ironic. It delivers something you wouldn't expect by giving you something you've already heard. I'm surprised the hipsters never caught on. Subverting the listener's expectations by giving them exactly what they got on the last album, that's fucking brilliant. Goddammit Josey Scott, you've done it again. |

It's a testament to the continued degredation of our music industry that this song broke the Top 50. ;)

To be fair. i think with another vocalist the song could have done much better. It just dosn't suit Josey's voice.
But It does seem like the band is incapable of consistantly producing good music.

I blame their label more than anyone. They're still on Island, who has been wrecking the careers of their bands for eight years running. Saliva needs to get away from them and sign to Eleven Seven post-haste. |

The one they released Time For Annihilation on. It's also the home of Drowning Pool, Sixx: A.M., Buckcherry, Trapt, Crossfade, The Exies, and of course Motley Crue. Also it appears Cold is with the label now as well, or at least doing a joint release. |

I've noticed that "Badass" has been gathering up some airplay. Allaccess says 3 adds this week. I wonder if they're considering scrapping "Nothing".
This was featured on the Saw 3D soundtrack. Presumably it's on the new album.

Now I see why "Nothing" was released.  |
