Soulive Soulive (Velour Recordings) These cats will get slept on for sure! They get at your neck like a monkeybite! 10 (SC)

Hypocrisy Into the Abyss (Nuclear Blast) Mind-numbing death metal that's as tight as pop virgin Jessica Simpson. 8.5 (JC)

Dying Fetus Destroy the Opposition (Relapse) As subtle as a nailbomb. 8 (JC)

Abel Circuit Sessions 002 (Moonshine/Koch) Hmmm. It's called Circuit Sessions. Could it be deep, dark and dirty tranced-out house "for the boys" à la Danny Tenaglia/Mark Anthony? 8 (KE)

Lenny Kravitz Greatest Hits (Virgin) Bringing the '70s and the '90s together with all the dreadrock hits and one dull new track. 7 (LC)

Various Rewind 1984: Chicago (UC Music/Navarre) A compilation of Chi-town label Trax Records "classics" mixed by DJ Rick Garcia (who?) that illustrates just how short the shelf life on most electronic music really is. 6.5 (KE)

Nelly Furtado Whoa, Nelly! (Dreamworks) Clearly ambitious singing and songwriting that gets a bit lost in flat pop production. 6 (LC)

Orgy Vapor Transmission (Reprise) This post-Manson stuff is getting massively old and New Order doesn't save their cheap ass this time. 2 (LC)

Andy Summers Peggy's Blue Skylight (RCA Victor/BMG) Mingus's music is beautiful--this is extremely ugly, a travesty! 0 (LD)
