Music Review

Stan and Judy's Kid (Warner Bros.)

EW's GRADE
C-

Details Lead Performance: Adam Sandler; Genre: Comedy

The hyperactive comedian serves up 17 songs and sketches on an album that sounds like it was written and recorded in a single afternoon. His musical offerings are dismal, ranging from half clever (the inevitable ''Chanukah Song Pt. II'') to three-quarters moronic (''7 Foot Man'') to all-out vile (''She Comes Home to Me''). Sandler's skits are better, and nowhere is his unique talent for playing man-child grotesques more giddily applied than in ''Whitey,'' a 16-minute exercise in doltish humor. Steve Martin was right: Comedy is not pretty. C
