AMG Review of Moving Forward in Reverse: Greatest Hits

All Music Guide

Memphis-based hard rock outfit Saliva’s Moving Forward in Reverse: Greatest Hits compilation collects 14 tracks culled from the band’s six albums released between 1997 and 2008. The Tennessee group's signature blend of blue collar boogie, post-grunge angst, and stadium-ready alternative metal has become a sports montage staple over the years, and hard-hitting tracks like “Superstar,” “Click Click Boom,” “Bleed for Me,” and “Broken Sunday” have enough hooks and meaty choruses in them to fuel a week’s worth of morning workouts and a month’s worth of Monster Truck Tractor Pull showdowns.
