Description: Proof positive that the Toxic Twins should never be apart, Done with Mirrors was Aerosmith's first album since Joe Perry returned to the band in 1985. Though it didn't garner as much commercial success as did the follow-up Permanent Vacation, this album is in many ways truer to the heart of what Aerosmith was in their 1970s heyday. From the opening drive of "Let the Music Do the Talking" (which reuses that great riff from 1977's "Draw the Line"), to the strong grooves of "The Reason a Dog" and "Gypsy Boots," to the rockin' shuffle of "The Hop," Done with Mirrors is full of strong moments. The two best tracks on the album, though, show Aerosmith heading back to their roots: the swampy rock of "She's On Fire" and the jive-to-drive of "Darkness," both of which have the raw, bluesy base of the band's best material. If nothing else, Done with Mirrors indicated that Aerosmith may have been down, but they definitely weren't out of the running yet--something that Permanent Vacation would prove two years later. --Genevieve Williams

Reviews:

Aerosmith - 'Done With Mirrors' (Geffen) 4 1/2 stars

Even though I've heard critics and fans alike slam this 1985 comeback lp of the original line-up of Aerosmith,it will always have special meaning to me.Remember that video for "Let The Music Do The Talking"?Good thing I was forewarned about it.In the video,three fans sneak a super 8 movie camera into the concert,managing to film some decent footage of the band's performance.Then a fat guard catches them and chases them out the back door of the venue.The three drop the film off to a hippie working the late night shift at the Fotomat.Later,they're shown hanging out with the band watching the home movie.Two years before 'Done...' came out,I myself attended an Aerosmith gig and managed to take a roll of super 8 film of the show.I had another person in the crowd warn me that a security guard had spotted me.I then moved to a different spot and removed my coat I had on.He never found me after that.That incident just might've influenced the video.Think about it.About the CD,I've always considered "Let The Music...","My Fist Your Face","Shela"(actually hung out with two,not one but two girls named Shela around this time),"Shame On You" and "She's On Fire" to be prime Aerosmith material.Just because this lp didn't sell very good doesn't mean it isn't any good.It's great!Old school hard rock.

Die hard fans

This album is not bad, but at the same time not Aerosmith's best work. This was the first album with Perry and Whitford back. It is significant in this way. If you are not a huge Aerosmith fan, you probably would not enjoy this album. It does not have any huge hits and is not one of their more famed albums. If you are looking to get your 1st Aerosmith album get either Toys in the Attic, Permanent Vacation, or Pump. In my opinion those are the best.

The Reunion

This a great hard rock album. All of the material is solid and the grooves are plentiful.

The title, "My Fist, Your Face", "Shame On You" and "Gypsy Boots" are hard in the true tradition of Aerosmith.

The only problem is the production of this set sounds a little stiff. The band has to work a little harder to make the electricity happen. This stuff absolutely ROCKED in concert.

Well worth owning....
