Every Six Seconds is the second studio album by American rock band Saliva. It is their first album under Island Records. In July 2008, Every Six Seconds was certified platinum by the RIAA. ^[7] "Superstar" was used as the theme song for WrestleMania X8 pay-per-view event in 2002 and the band performed the song at the event.

Background

Josey Scott revealed the meaning of the album's title in an interview with Therese McKeon from the website Shoutweb: ^[8]

Everything we do is for a reason and I felt like this was an opportunity to do what we wanted to do right down to the album cover and the album title. It was another opportunity to be creative and invoke thought. We thought the title "Every Six Seconds" said a lot about the world today and where our society is pretty much sitting. I got it from a news documentary I was watching that was talking about robbery and car theft and murder and other subjects. It finally got around to sex of course and they said that men think about sex every six seconds. I thought that was really interesting and it kind of stuck in my mind. I think it says it all for me and for the record. It's dealing with everything from the healing condition to anger and love and sex and spiritually and the disillusionment with society. I think the title is befitting. ^[8]

Two of the songs on Every Six Seconds were re-recordings which originally appeared on Saliva's self-titled debut album, "Beg" and "Greater Than/Less Than". Both "Click Click Boom" and "Your Disease" were released as singles, and they both charted highly on Billboard 's charts. Years after the album's release, the band's original drummer who appeared on the self-titled album, Todd Poole, was eventually given a co-writing credit for "Your Disease" and the two aforementioned re-recorded songs. ^[9]

Reception

• Alternative Press (5/01, p. 88) – 3 out of 5 – "A pop-metal band with a penchant for pretty, angst-ridden melodies for lonely boys and girls."
• CMJ (3/12/01, p. 19) – "Of-the-moment aggro, with an emphasis on rapcore moments interrupted by melodic, clean vocals."
