Doris Did You Give the World Some Love Today Baby (Mr. Bongo/FusionIII) A relic of epic Swedish pop from '70. Perfectly hilarious and hilariously perfect. 9 (RB)

Nobodys Greatasstits (Hopeless/Outside) Fifty-two tunes in an hour or so, each one stupider than the last. Now that's punk. 8 (RB)

Tones on Tail Everything! (Beggars Banquet/Koch) Just in case you wanted Everything! ever recorded by the missing link between Bauhaus and Love & Rockets. Best group of the three, actually. 8 (CY)

Omar Santana Hardhop Tricked Out (Moonshine) A mixie of L.A.-style acid breaks which will leave you pitying L.A. Gaudy. 6.5 (MS)

Various The Player's Club Soundtrack (Heavyweight/Polygram) Somebody's been playing with themselves in the studio... and making bad movies too. 5 (SC)

Stabbing Westward Darkest Days (Columbia) Stabbing Westward vie for their piece of the FM radio angst pie and get left with the crumbs. 4 (JC)

DollsHead Frozen Charlotte (Refuge/Universal) If Robert Palmer's keyboardist produced a trip hop album, it'd sound like this. T'Pau anyone? 3 (MS)

Talamasca Tainted Love and Other Demos (Motherhouse) As far as we're concerned, Chriss Lee is still dead. We never got a press release telling us otherwise. N/A (CY)
