Then you're definitely missing out. Garbage brag front-woman Shirley Manson and Version 2.0 is a classic of the '90s. Cake are probably one of the lyrically intelligent bands I've ever heard and the off-beat delivery mixed of the vocals in with infectious guitars is great. Sublime just live up to their name.

You want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket...

Haha, touche. But listen to an album like Fashion Nugget and you might see what I mean. I can't get enough of tracks like 'Friend Is A Four Letter Word' and 'Open Book', primarily because of the lyrics employed.

I actually like most of Comfort Eagle but I have to be in the mood for it. Definitely a different sound.

Yeah, they're definitely not one of those bands you can listen to all the time. But when the mood arises, they really hit the spot.

Are they metal anyway?

I mean real metal, not claiming the title.

I don't think they've ever put out a GREAT album but their albums aren't terrible either. Every album they've done has a handful of good songs.

They started out as rap rock and then became alternative radio rock/southern rock. The new album comes out later this month. I had heard last year there was going to be some rap on this one by I'm not sure why they'd want to do that as there's no nostalgia factor playing for rap rock at this moment.

Surivival of the Sickest I think was their most praised album, that's when they really started to let their southern and classic rock roots show but I like Cinco Diablo best.

Put it this way, I like them enough that I'm looking forward to the new album. Here's the single from the new album, I think it's decent radio rock:

Bought it today. It's pretty good. I thought Cinco Diablo was their best and this one may give that album a run for its money. There's only about 2 songs that sound like the old rap-metal Saliva, the rest is regular post grunge/alternative rock/metal/whatever.

Favorites so far are: "Nothing", "Never Should've Let You Go", "Toxic Suicide", "Turn The Lights On"

Thanks.

Now see, I'm different. I really like "Every Six Seconds" and "Back Into Your System", but was disappointed with "Survival of the Sickest" and never listened to anything that followed.

Love the Nikki Sixx penned song "Rest in Pieces" from "Back Into Your System".

Ult, sorry for taking so long to reply. I'm not a fan of rap metal, and frankly, there isn't that much rap on the first two Saliva albums. At the time of the first Saliva releases, Saliva was getting slammed for adding absolutlely nothing to the current scene. That may be the case, but I wasn't paying enough attention to the current scene to know if that was true or not, and I didn't really care. My brother liked Saliva and they were opening for KISS, so I checked them out. I liked what I heard, especially come chorus time (check out After Me, Greater Than/Less Than, Lackluster etc). I don't care what anybody thinks, it still sounds good to my ears. I'm listening to Every Six Seconds right now. Good stuff. On Survival of the Sickest they changed direction. Of course, it was off-putting since I liked the first two CDs. Anyway, I own Survival of the Sickest, so I may give it another spin. I might like it more this time 'round.

"Under My Skin" IMO isn't quite as good as "Love Story" or "Diablo" but it's still pretty good, my favorite tracks are "Burn It Up" "Badass" "Hate Me" and "Spotlight"

Crap is all I say!
