Aerosmith – Done With Mirrors

Done With Mirrors is the eighth studio album by the American rock band Aerosmith, released on November 9, 1985. It marked a comeback for the band after a period of drug addiction and internal conflicts. 

The album was produced by Ted Templeman and marked the return of the original Aerosmith lineup, with all five members reuniting for the first time since 1979. The band aimed to recapture their raw and bluesy sound from their early days.

Musically, Done With Mirrors features a mix of hard rock and blues-based songs, showcasing the band's signature sound. Some notable tracks from the album include "Let the Music Do the Talking," "My Fist Your Face," and "The Hop."

Done With Mirrors initially had a modest reception. It peaked at number 36 on the Billboard 200 chart and received mixed reviews from critics. However, it laid the groundwork for Aerosmith's subsequent resurgence and success in the late 1980s and beyond.

Despite its initial performance, Done With Mirrors set the stage for Aerosmith's subsequent albums, including Permanent Vacation (1987) and Pump (1989), which became huge commercial successes. The band regained their status as one of the top rock acts in the world, and their popularity continued to soar throughout the following decades.
