How did it turn out? To me 'Bed' is a return to form as she seems to combine the popier sounds of 'Hey Babe' with the noise rock of 'Only Everything' on one album. Personally I like the combination because it is very dynamic and features one of my favorite things about Juliana, her 'Guitar Goddess' persona as he metes out some totally grungey riffs worthy of J Mascis on here!!
Also lyrically Juliana is progressing as well. She is no longer the virginal young woman of her older albums, as the adult female sexuality of 'You Are the Camera' attests to (YES!)
The worst thing about this album though is the cover! What the heck? Is she sleepy? Zoned out? Just don't like it. Album covers that I strongly dislike are a major pet peeve of Hard Harry412. The music inside might be totally good, but one is just slightly repulsed by the cover!
