Gorgeous Voice and Lovely Melodies..........2006-04-13

I first heard Martha's Trouble on the radio long ago but I never forgot them. I came across finally one day their album online and then listened to their samples on their newest album, Forget October and fell in love musically. The voice I remembered on the radio is in full force on this album, and what great songs there are on this album matched with such a voice. The melodies at times are powerful, and others light and airy and bring a sense of comfort, passion, and tenderness weaved throughout the songs to make an overall beautiful and moving album. I've had this album a short time and truly love it.

1- City Skyline- A- What a wonderful start to the album. A song that would be great to hear on a movie or at least on the radio- very lightheard and lovely.

2- Don't Hide Away- A- - Beautifully sung with some great lyrics. I am so in love with her voice on this song.

3- I Know- A- What a lovely song, with some very sweet lyrics. A well- crafted adult pop song.

4- Waverly- A - Compared to the other three adult pop- charged hits this song slightly does not add up, but it is still a beatufiul song to listen, and she sings the song so well. A more slow, reflective song with more of a folk touch than the others.

5- Through The Mystery- A- What a well- done song. It is a slow song as well but so lovely in sound and it carries out well.

6- Sign Of Life- B+- How beautifully sung this song is, it touches my heart truly. This female singer's voice is one to love. The song itself pales a bit to the others but her singing on this song is enjoyable to hear.

7- Cold Rain- A - Very nicely done song. It has more of a rock vibe than some of the other songs on here and the tone of the song is one that stands out.

8- Forget October- A - I enjoy how they made the song here,and it is sung very well- her voice is still irresistable. I also like the way song is done. At first when you hear the song you may not get fully into it but hear it a few more times and you'll grow to really love it. It has a darker tone than the rest of the album though.

9- Sweet Irene- B- The c.d. kind of goes flat for awhile here. This song I don't hate, it has a nice more faster sound to it to lift you up out of the slow, dark sound of the previous song, yet it does fall flat compared to the other songs.

10- Waiting- A- Wow what a soft and gorgeous song. Probably their most beautiful on here. I adore this song. Back again is that lovely voice of the lead singer's in her most loveliest form and how emotional the lyrics are. They did a great job on this song.

11- Keri- C+- This is the only song I skip really. I hear nothing great in this song. The lyrics are nice but the way the song is put together and the way it is sung is just nothing amazing.

12- She Hears A Train- A- What a soft, pleasant way to end the album. All it is is a piano and Jen's vocals and it's just so touching. I think it's a nice way to end the album.

So overall from all the grading I give it four stars. I really enjoy this album and listen to it a lot, but I do listen to some songs more than others. The whole album though gives off a beautiful and airy feel I really enjoy getting to know. I plan on hearing more from them- this album made me a new fan of theirs!

You simply have to buy this album!.......2005-01-30

One word for it and all of MT's albums - amazing! Beautiful music, Jen has an amazing voice and Rob is great on guitar.

Don't Miss This One!!! WOW!!!.......2004-10-21

Martha's Trouble is big time! I was able to see them live and the level of talent is amazing..."chill bump" amazing. Forget October displays incredible talent and powerful, meaning lyrics. Jen's unique voice is unlike any other, one not to miss.

Perfect for almost any occasion.......2004-09-24

If you were to take the better part of Jewel's voice, mix it in with the lead of the cranberries and threw in undertones of Amie Lee from Evanescense, you'd get Jen Slocumb of Martha's trouble, a VERY talented singer whom I believe would be in heavy rotation on our mtv stations if she had better publicity. She has already entranced my home town of Auburn Alabama; she could very easily take over the world. And lets not forget the talented band to back her up. "Forget october" is the most recent album featuring such great laid back hits as the title track, "Waverly" and "Through the mystery." There is not a bed song on the album; her voice could make any song sound great. I keep the cd in my car at all times for travel. It has such a good vibe-the not too folk not too pop not too rock-it puts me in a better mood no matter what. I am truly a number one fan, and I'll finally get to see her live next week. I'm very excited. If you do not like the album.... then I think you're just not a very happy person. I would also recommend thea gilmore, the music has a similar vibe.

Musical excellence!.......2004-07-29

I was fortunate enough to catch MT live in Bend, Oregon last weekend. It was also my first chance to hear the new material. All I can say is... wow! It comes across as a more refined product then their earlier albums (which I also love). For lack of a better term, a few songs almost come off as folksy pop tunes. There is not a bad track on the CD and the entire album is highly listenable. If you are looking for something new, give MT a shot... good people and great music!
