Only Everything is the second solo album by Juliana Hatfield, released in 1995. 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. 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.

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." 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.'”
