Recommendations
I liked the Juliana Hatfield album. I was never a fan of her music but this one surprised me. There are a couple of songs that I like from "How to walk away" and I bet that you would to.

I wasn't expecting much from the latest Breeders album because albums after a long break don't usually produce.
I was wrong. It's not "Pod" (which is my favorite) but a respectable output of songs that don't disappoint. If you like the Breeders, you should like this album.

Close but no cigar
I like a couple of songs from Tilly and the Wall's album "O" but it's not enough to recommend it.

Final note
The other songs on this list are the only songs that I like from each band. Seek out the song but listen to the album at your own risk. The Ida Maria song "Queen of the World" is not the version on the album. I'm not sure where I got this version.

I didn't even realize that Juliana Hatfield and the Breeders had new albums out. Did JH's new album surprise you because it's different from previous outings, or because it just happened to resonate with you this time around? I really liked "Become What You Are" but I think Evan Dando's influence was strong on that album, and her other solo outings weren't quite as appealing. And if the Breeders' rhythm section is still intact then I'm pretty sure I'll like their new disc.

I think only the Deal sisters are the only ones left. It still sound like the Breeders nonetheless.
I heard JH's Blake Babies stuff. I don't think I heard her previous albums but now I feel I need to because of this album.
Thanks for the reply!
