Become What You Are by The Juliana Hatfield Three
Become What You Are is an album by The Juliana Hatfield Three, released in 1993. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 65 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “My Sister”, on 34 lists with a best position of #33.
Become What You Are, the debut album by the Juliana Hatfield Three, came out on Mammoth Records on August 3, 1993, and it follows Hatfield's solo record Hey Babe with a tighter, tougher band sound. Scott Litt produced it, and he gives her guitars a clean, punchy crunch without sanding down the sweetness in her voice.
It's alternative rock with bubblegum in its bloodstream: jangling, buzzing, bruised and hooky, the kind of record that sounds sunny and bruised at the same time. "My Sister" and "Spin the Bottle" were the hits, and "For the Birds" rounds out the songs that rock radio held on to.
