Breathtaking,
By
This review is from: I Speak Because I Can (MP3 Download)
I've had this album on repeat since I downloaded it a couple of days ago. I'd downloaded it, knowing there was a possibility I wouldn't like it at all. I liked Alas I Cannot Swim [Explicit] and I liked New Romantic and Typical from My Manic And I [Explicit], but musicians have this terrible ability to change that I always worry about. This is different.Its amazing. This doesn't feel like folk or indie- it sounds like blues to me, maybe even soul. It reminded me of Blue, one of my favourite albums of all time, not because its like it, but because it's an emotional journey. The album's like a wave, forming with Devil on a Spoke, reminding me of American folk, but then cresting with Made by Maid and Rambling Man softly bringing you down to the fizz of Blackberry Stone to Alpha Shallows on a Greek beach for dancing around a beach fire. Goodbye England (Covered In Snow) is beautiful, not just because it reminds me of this January's frightful beauty, but it's so soft, yet rising. There's some anger in Hope in the Air, but there's pure fantasy and magic in What He Wrote, which is my favourite song from the album. Darkness Descends is a lifting wave, taking you back out to sea on a party boat, before the title song settles you down to the rocking boat as a storm blows by. The sound quality is excellent, an improvement on Alas and her voice comes through amazingly. The music's simple- mostly guitar, with the odd flourish from back up singers and clarinets etc. Her voice- it's as magical as always. But I think in this album, I hear more passion, more love and bitterness and excitement. And this is what has given me shivers. It's wonderful.

Amazing!!,

This review is from: I Speak Because I Can (CD+DVD) (Audio CD)
I Speak Because I Can is an amazing step in Laura Marling's budding career. Following in the folksy ways of her debut album, Alas, I Cannot Swim, Laura's sophomore album shows an even greater maturity in her musicianship and lyricism. I personally was nervous this album wouldn't be able to live up to her first, but I couldn't have been more wrong. I play this CD non-stop and, with each listen, I hear something surprising and new. I never skip a track while listening through, and my favorite song changes every other week. This really is a stunning album- one I continue to treasure deeply, and the DVD only adds to the musical experience. I really couldn't be happier!

Disappointing DVD,
This review is from: I Speak Because I Can (CD+DVD) (Audio CD)
Just a little bit of information for everyone interested in buying the special edition of the album. I bought this because I've seen the live performances from Laura Marling with the Mumford Band on YouTube and really liked it. But don't be fooled by the listings of the songs on the amazon description page, below that it says the DVD is a documentary and that's exactly what it is.Although it says on the back of the album "Live from the Royal Festival Hall" all you really get are very short clips of the performances with commentary from Laura Marling & Band. But the commentary is sort of woven right into the songs. Obviously there exists a full live performance of this concert somewhere because the bits you do see are properly filmed and recorded, but just not on this DVD. So while the songs are almost always disturbed by the commentary, that very commentary is often trivial and in return disturbed by the song clips. In the end the DVD from the special edition is neither fish nor fowl, maybe it would have been much smarter to put the complete concert on the DVD and put the comments either between the songs or on a completely different DVD altogether. I was very disappointed by the documentary/concert and recommend buying only the album without the DVD. The only real reason I see for buying the special edition are the five bonus tracks you can download with codes found inside the special edition (the codes are printed on the back of postcards with some nice pictures on them).
