I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too

by: Martha Wainwright

Release Date May 12, 2008
The warm and understated sound of her debut CD (3 years ago) is replaced with a fuller augmented bells and whistles rock band sound, which merely serves to make the music sound ordinary, and which causes Martha's distinctive vocal style to work too hard to rise above.

The reservations many had about Martha's songwriting on her first (although I thought it was pretty good) have been proved right here. Some songs are good, but none are as striking as Factory, TV Show, Who Was I Kidding or BMFA from the former.

I never review anything without at least 10 listens and sorry to say this CD has remained a chore to sit through. Martha needs to get back to basics, quit smoking, and concentrate her vocal technique on interpreting ... Read More:

Martha Wainwright: Special Edition

by: Martha Wainwright

Release Date November 14, 2005
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 ... Read More:

Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole

by: Martha Wainwright

Release Date May 02, 2005
There are almost certainly people who will be offended by the lyrical content of this song. And maybe rightly so. But in my opinion when such words (as the title succinctly states) are sung by an artist like Martha Wainwright who rips the words angelically from her soul and delivers them to the listener with great sincerity...the power such words have to offend is greatly diminished. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if it was her intention to explore and challenge how certain words make us react in certain pre-determined ways. The tragedy is not that such a titled song could be released, but that it could be dismissed out of hand. Not a song to be missed or dismissed.
