Spin Doctors: “Mary Jane” (Epic)

Crash Test Dummies: “God Shuffled His Feet” (BMG)

Spin Doctors release okayish record! Shock horror! Crash Test Dummies release pile of tripe! Big deal! ‘God Shuffled His Feet’ is not the worst record ever: It’s just twee, over-earnest nonsense. They even had the gall to include the truly horrible ‘MMM MMM’ on this package – as if we hadn’t heard it enough already. ‘Mary Jane’ sees another band I love to hate produce a bearable song (just about). Congratu-lations lads, keep up the fine work.
