"Feed Me" makes this worth the investment.

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Third single from "Hey Babe", "I See You" is valuable to Juliana Hatfield fans for its collection of b-sides-- indeed all three of the cuts on here would have served "Hey Babe" well.



"Feed Me", a delicate acoustic guitar-and-vocal number about anorexia, where Hatfield's girlish vocal goes far to nicely express the anguish of a girl trying so hard to be loved, was likely left off "Hey Babe" because of its similar mood to "Ugly" (also included here). Both, however, are superb pieces and well worth a listen.



Admittedly, neither "Here Comes the Pain" (a decent mid-tempo piece) nor the explosive groupie attack "Rider" are really all that intriguing, but both are as good as the title track of this single and several of the pieces on "Hey Babe".



But regardless, "Feed Me" alone is worth taking the time to dig up this single."
