One of the most honest singers I've ever heard. Her voice is so soar and beautiful that you can't do anything else exept be moved by it.
Alex gave it a9:
she totally rocks. she has a fabulously unqiue voice, and her lyrics kick ass. B.M.F.A has to be one of the greatest songs I've heard in quite some time.
Joe G gave it a10:
Up there with Joni Mitchell's Blue in many respects, and I urge lovers of that classic to give this a go. Martha's voice and the way she uses it means she could sing the phone book and sound great. Thankfully she has her own songs which are as engaging as her voice and eminently playable if you have a guitar to hand. Lovely warm production too, perfect for late night listening. My favourite of 2005, so it's a 10 from me.
Seamus S gave it a10:
I honestly think Q nailed it. Her voice is something incredible. It flows with a natural kind of confidence that's hard to find in modern music, pushing forward with angst ridden lyrics while never lossing ballance and falling into cleche. She has the air of a seasoned vet and the brilliance to one day become one.
Scott Y gave it an8:
Good stuff, better than pop. Seems like more creative and intelligent songwriting than your average female singer-songwriter. My only wish was that even though Bloody Mother F'ing A-hole is a great song on the album, I can't really play this album around the house since I have little kids around. In any case, it's worth owning.
The Punt gave it a10:
This is, without doubt, the finest album of the year. It is the best album since "Is This It"! Sweet and vulnerable and so goddamn catchy that I hum it all day and play it all night.
Glenn D gave it a10:
Beautifully, melodic and passionate. Beautiful but like a scorpion, has a poisonous skin.
