MUDHONEY Five Dollar Bob's Mock Cooter Stew (Reprise) Mudhoney's albums have always been uneven affairs, veering erratically between the monumental and the mundane. Unfortunately, most of this seven-track EP falls into the latter category. Still, it's not a total loss. On songs like the brooding ''In the Blood'' and the country-tinged ''Between Me & You Kid'' singer Mark Arm and his fellow garage boys manage to evoke the soul-sick yearning and sardonic misanthropy that characterize their best work.
