A folk album that trades between introspective, chamber-led pieces, with occasional rockier cuts. Once I Was An Eagle thus is mostly introspective, yet its songwriting chops are strong enough for the 60+ mins to go by smoothly.

A very well-crafted album that drove me to look into Laura Marling's discography. The "Take The Night Off/I
Was An Eagle/You Know/Breathe" suite is lovely and makes me wish more albums had such passages,
while the set of songs from "Master Hunter" to "Once" successfully takes "Once I Was An Eagle" in a different
direction. The instrumentation in the last third of the album is excellent, and "Saved These Words" is the
perfect ending track to an album that further confirms Marling's musical talent.

A very OK folk album? Didn't really see the appeal, but wasn't a terrible album.

Moments of greatness, but diluted by the fact that Laura Marling just can't decide on which ideas she should flesh out

The second Laura to release a fucking bombshell of an album this year.

I have not been this strongly affected by a recording this year. As a guy who usually digs on metal etc this is my current AOTY.

Simply marvelous. Laura has built beautifully upon everything good she did on A Creature I Don't Know. This needs a staff review now.
