3.0 out of 5 stars
lacks a little something, June 9, 2005
I am a huge Juliana Hatfield fan, and have been for nearly 10 years. However, this album dissapoints me a little. The three girls are so talented, and I was expecting so much more from this...but it really lacks, IMO.
There just is hardly any energy here...especially from old Jules. I want the Juliana that sings from her gut. I want the Juliana that rips a good solo. But in this CD, there's just no emotion...it sounds so programmed.
Now, this is in no way a diss to any of these ladies...I love all three of them. BUt I just expected more from a trio of rockin' ladies of this quality.
Still, there are some very enjoyable tracks on here. Feel It and Neccesito stick out, IMO.
This albums to me needs a little more energy, a little more polish, and then it would be fantastic. I know these three can do better.
Still, I give it 3 stars because the tracks are catchy enough, and it is a fun album. I just think these three could do better.

4.0 out of 5 stars
a return to form for JH, November 3, 2003
By A Customer
IMHO, this is Juliana's most accessible work since "Only Everything". It's not quite at the level of that album or "Become What You Are", but captures much more of the vibe of those two records than "Total System Failure". The production is spare but clean, the guitars sound good, the melodies and harmonies are catchy, and there's just a sort of feel-good sound on this record that's been missing on a lot of JH's recent records.

Sneakers and Tube Tops...Donuts and Beer..., June 28, 2004
Maybe that's a stupid way of saying it, but as a Juliana Hatfield/Blake Babies fan, I feel that "Feel It" is a nice transitional album for these 3 talented ladies. Some Girls is a great detour and a handy cd to have in your collection, if you are a fan of Hatfield or Freda Boner, or any of their respective bands. Tracks that really stand out are "Prettiest Girl","Malted Milk" and "The Getaway," which I recently heard while shopping in the GAP. Other songs like "Robot City" and"On My Back" become a bit lost in repetition. In all, buy this record for the soundtrack of a Sunday drive or an afternoon picnic. It will perk up the blues in your dreary day.
