Gold Stars 1992-2002: The Juliana Hatfield Collection

I like this nineties sound, guitars pulled between jangle and distortion, and particularly when garnished with the singing of so winning a frontwoman as Juliana Hatfield. (And moreover, for maximum nineties-associative effect, "Spin the Bottle" was on the soundtrack to Reality Bites - a key landmark in my own personal cultural history.) But, pleasant though it is, somehow this music is kind of like, y'know, a wee bit boring...
