 Difficult second album? June 8, 2010

Laura Marling's first album (Alas I cannot Swim) is simply one of the best albums I've ever heard, so to say that I had high expectations for its follow up is an understatement.
I Speak Because I Can is a more mature sounding album than it's predecessor, but in this case that actually is to its detriment. The pop element of her former album has been dropped and with it some playfulness and diversity. Where as the sound on Alas I cannot Swim is cinematic and ever shifting, I Speak Because I Can is more even and sombre.
Musically I found the instrumentation in many of the tracks too busy and jangly, much like Mumford and Sons's style (which too me is like a whole room full of people shouting to get their individual view across, but no one voice can be heard clearly). I also wish that Laura had recorded her voice with a more detailed microphone, as the one she uses softens her voice too much, which is a shame as she has a beautiful voice.
I Speak Because I Can is not a terrible album, despite falling into the classic sophomore album trap of taking itself a little too seriously, but it is a flawed album. I recommend auditioning the album on Spotify before buying, as this album is certain to disappoint some.
My favourite tracks on the album were: 4 - Blackberry Stone, 8 - What He Wrote and 9 - Darkness Descends.
 Fresh, new approach June 4, 2010
Annie Hall (Uk)
Laura Marling has a fresh approach to Folk Music, she is young, raw, emotional and incredibly talented, her voical range has great breadth for such a young singer.
I've been listening to this CD for a while now and I'm still finding new things to enjoy, each track better than the last even after 50 plays!
I Speak Because I Can May 28, 2010
Ms. B. J. JENKINS (Nottingham, England)
I bought this album for a friend and she said it was so good so I downloaded it off iTunes the other day.
It's absolutely amazing. Maybe not as good as her previous album but a great listen.

A promising young songwriter May 28, 2010
Tom T (Glasgow)
Laura has created quite a stir for one so young. This is a good solid performance. Not quite up to the standards of her influences Like Joni Mitchell yet, but Joni was no better at that age. One to watch in the future.
