First five tracks are stunning. I'm glad this has gotten coverage, one of the best of the year in my book.

first tracks are good, but it sort of goes downhill afterwards. Not that the other tracks are bad, but the rest of the album just isn't as interesting as the first part.

i love the whole first half, up to and including the Interlude. the first few tracks in particular are great. second half drags a tad.

yeah it kinda dwindles after the first five. i was hoping it would end up being one long continuous slab of music and i thought it was going to be but i was disappointed.

Sixth song is really great too, we can't forget about Little Love Caster.

I guess I'd say the album falls off a bit after that song.

yes, but we should all agree that this album is nice and everyone will enjoy it to different extents but that doesn't matter and we should all hold hands together and be friends?

I'd agree that the first half of the album is the best. But I'd argue that the second half is as strong, if not as cohesive, as the first half. Love Be Brave is the only weak track I see...

Laura Marling's extremely talented, and Once I Was An Eagle is probably the most accomplished album by a female artist in a long time.

idk the conceit of this continuous music-thing is cool but i feel like most of the first few actually sort of lack melodic structure/interest. they make up for it in intensity and that sort of cohesiveness but im not sure id want the whole album to be like that. "little bird" and "where can i go" are much better in that respect
