Remi Bolduc Renaissance (Effendi/SRI) It's been well worth the wait! A great outing by Bolduc with Bryn Roberts, Tommy Babin and Dave Laing. 9 (LD)

Slimm Calhoun The Skinny (Warner) College Park represents as this OutKast alumni gets some bouncy shine. 7 (SC)

Psycho Bitch Beatblaster (UC Music/Song) This girl leaves nothing to the imagination. Repetitive beats au bout, avec attitude et un peut de fromage. 7 (KE)

Ann Beretta New Union, Old Glory (Lookout!/Outside) If you missed Rancid's poppier side on And Wolves Come Out then buy this now. 7 (JC)

Spacehog The Hogyssey (Artemis) Passable, tuneful rock with some lifted riffs and trademark creepy Bowie-meets-Axl vocals. 6 (LC)

Four80East Nocturnal (Page) Ivana Santilli should lose this smooth, contemporary jazz set for some soulful shit. 5 (SC)

Gary Numan Dark Light (Big Eye/Song) Two-disc (too long) London live show from '94. Mostly electro-Goth '90s Numan. And no "Cars." 5 (LC)

Guttermouth Covered With Ants (Epitaph/Sonic Unyon) I would've rather chewed on tin foil for 40 minutes than listen to this punk tripe. 4 (JC)

American Hi-fi self-titled (Def Jam/Universal) Drummer dude for old indie-chick acts forms own band, makes mall-punk-cock-rawk debut. Couple of cheese ballads. You know the drill. 3 (LC)
