Amazon.co.uk Review
Martha is the youngest of the Wainwright clan (with brother Rufus two years her senior), and she's also still the one with the most to prove, even after her eponymous 2005 debut captured hearts aplenty via a delightful bundle of timeless folk ruminations with intriguingly fraught seams--and one infamously foul-mouthed diatribe against her father (folk singer Loudon Wainwright III). It's hard to know whether the family association does her more harm than good, but what is certain is that sophomore album I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too is as complex and emotionally tumultuous as its title and lays to rest any doubts regarding the reach of her artistry. From lavish psychedelic arrangements in "Tower" to "You Cheated Me" and "Hearts Club Band" which gush with the slick country-pop of Fleetwood Mac, to "So Many Friends" and "Bleeding All over You" alternating between Kristen Hersh's husky folk persona on one hand and Kate Bush's gallivanting tonsils on the other, all the way to "Niger River" which quivers and ebbs, fluttering between peaks with eastern trace-like qualities, she sounds both utterly liberated and firmly in control. It's a more challenging experience than the first record, but covers so much more ground and is richer for it. In spite of the title it can surely no longer be a case of always the mistress and never the bride. --James Berry

The Wolf was not sure on his first listen to be honest.
Sometimes perseverance pays. This is a very fine offering indeed.
3 years already since Ms Wainwright's eponymous debut.
The Wainwright/McGarrigle dynasty to some degree a millstone
around each members neck.
Always the risk of comparison ( especially with that prodigious brother
lurking in the wings ).
'I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too'.
Howzat for a title ?! ....... I like it.......It's kooky.......and to some degree expected.
We're back in the 'Boho Zone' ( Sam Taylor Wood and all ) and I have to admit
it's good to be back. Kookiness becomes her.
12 new self-penned songs and ONE OTHER (of which more later).
'Bleeding All Over You' ( this gal's great with the titles don't you think ?!) is a
stonking opener. Catchy, lilting, batty and memorable. The vocal harmonies
and Mr Moston's violin superb.
'You Cheated Me', despite Mr Townshend's horribly old hat guitar licks,
a worthy second contender.
Highs and lows from here on in but the highs are truly thrilling.
It pays to have Scandinavian friends. 'Tower Song' with its' icy string arrangement
is certainly one of the album's strongest tracks.
'So Many Friends' a folksy phantasmagoria aptly enhanced by Mr Fagen's
(God this girl certainly does have friends) haunting synthesiser arabesques.
'In The Middle Of The Night' a powerful mid-tempo rocker worthy of
the evangelical Mr Cave.
THAT BROTHER get's his two-penneth worth in 'The George Song'
without stealing the show.
'Niger River' and 'Jimi' plaintive, tender and affecting.
'See Emily Play' ( That ONE OTHER track ) despite a brace of McGarigles
is truly horrible !!!
Luckily, closing track, 'I Wish I Were' wrenches us back by the scruff of our necks
to a powerful and emotionally satisfying conclusion.
This album is a real roller coaster.
Trust me....The price of the ticket is more than worth the ride.
Highly Recommended.
Fun, provoking - everything a pop album should be?! May 17, 2008

Having only had this a week, maybe i'm not qualified to write this review yet, but I feel compelled to act, because if this album gets lost it will be nothing short of a travesty.
Following a great first album was always going to be tough, but I think Martha Wainwright has walked a fantastic tightrope here. She has produced an album of varied moments, at times skirting close to straightforward pop (at which she puts to shame most of her contemporaries), whilst also producing more introspective and intriguing tracks.
'Tower Song' is a great example of the latter. It sits on a bed of prickly strings and feels dark and menacing. It articulates a very 'here and now' sense of loss and desperation and feels compelling because of it. 'In the middle of the night' recalls a slightly heavier Neko Case, all full of backyard incidents and night drama.
Openers 'bleeding all over you' and 'you cheated me' are charming, memorable affairs, full of fantastic lyricism, while reflecting the breezier side of this disc. 'Niger River' is just beautiful and haunting, two adjectives that describe Martha Wainwright's music at its core. This is a logical step forward, but its not safe and it showcases a talent that is more than ready to step out from the already illustrious pedigree of the other Wainwright's.
Also, have we seen a better album title this year? I think not.

i had been waiting for the follow up to martha's critically acclaimed debut self titled album. this shows pure genius, simply anything that is touched by martha shines a light. obvious cameo's from parent's and brother rufus and the immense pete townsend.
my fav track although the decision was difficult is 'jesus and mary' powerful in many ways, vocals put massive emphasis on the quite basis but quirky background music.
other stand out tracks, opening rocker 'bleeding all over you' lots of wording and promoting of the album title and 'comin tonight'. comin tonight gives the first taste of pete townsend on guitars, marthas vocals are sounding early joni mitchell to patti smith. the diverse 'the george song' samples just how talented martha and rufus are when they are put together, why not release a joint album???!
in fact this album is both intense and amazing, ive had the privilage to go see martha live a few times now and she never disappoints.
