Only Everything is the second solo album by Juliana Hatfield, released in 1995.[6][7] Two singles with accompanying music videos were released from the album: "What a Life" and "Universal Heart-Beat." "Universal Heart-Beat" peaked at #5 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks in 1995.

Overview

Upon its release in 1995, Only Everything was notable for its sound, which was more aggressive than Hatfield's previous work.[3][8] Produced by Paul Q. Kolderie and Sean Slade, who had previously produced Hole's very successful Live Through This, the album features heavily distorted guitar tones with catchy pop songs.[9]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "even with the improved musicianship, Hatfield isn't able to deliver consistently impressive songs, occasionally relying on her cuteness to cover underdeveloped lyrics and pedestrian melodies."[3] Trouser Press wrote that "Hatfield cranked it up on Only Everything without losing her instinctive pop charms or her treatises on what she describes as 'white, middle-class angst.'”[10]
