Music : Martha Wainwright
1 2
Rating: 
- easily the best new vocalist of the last ten years
martha wainwright proves on this album that despite all of her vaunted background she is a true original. the songs show great craft, especially BMFA which is perfectly written. and her voice is a wonder. it has the flexibility of mary margaret o'hara's voice and the emotional vastness of jane siberry but is also something completely hers. its really exhilirating the way it can just take off in the middle of a song and go wherever it likes yet still make complete musical sense.
for many years i've been grieving the fact that mary margaret o'hara hasn't been making music but with this album the gap is filled. but she isn't a copycat. like any true talent this musical vision is completely martha's own. and it seems to have sprung complete from her in a way which is very rare. truly wonderful.

- More so-called bonus tracks
Dear Martha
There seems a Wainwright family trait of reissuing recently released CD's with bonus tracks.
How about showing some respect to the people who bought the original versions less than a year earlier? Are we supposed to buy them again? Or would you rather that next time we all just waited until the bonus version appeared.

Sorry that so many don't find this helpful, but I stand by my comment. What's the point of putting bonus tracks on a CD a year after the fans that have supported you have bought the CD? It shows a LACK OF RESPECT to your fans!

- the best album i don't own
Martha Wainwright's thoughts and feelings are bared before our eyes in an amazingly honest, daring, lovely way in this album. That's what I think! And I love it. However, I don't own this album because it all sounds a tweeny bit similar to me. There are very few pop albums I have the stamina to listen to all the way through. I just don't think I could get through this. I would always be wanting to skip forward to BMFA, which is a screaming winner. "I've been stoked and poked but it's all smoke there's no more fire."
An album for anyone who's ever felt that way (aka everyone).
Rating: - BUY THIS ALBUM!
This is one of those albums that grabs your attention and holds it, from start to finish.
Martha sounds fantastic and has a very talented band behind her.
There isn't a bad track on this album.
It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you think...
Hard to explain, but it's something really special. Trust me.
Watch out for Martha on tour in 2006!
Rating: - Absolutely the best cd on earth!
I absolutely adore this album. It's a difficult one to pigeon hole but its influences being a mixture of contemporary blues, country, folk, and jazz are very clear but in a very individual and unique package. Quite different from her brother's, father's, mother's and aunt's music, having created something completely of her own in every way. It's great and I think that most people would struggle to dislike it. It's not the happiest album in the world, but a very colourful and rich one nonetheless.
