‘The Other Side of the Mirror’- likes and dislikes (what are yours?)

[greendaze5]

This album seems to get mixed reviews. Share your thoughts! Mine are below:

LIKES :

- ‘Rooms on Fire’, ‘2 Kinds of Love’, ‘Ooh My Love’, ‘Doing The Best I Can’, ‘Real Tears’

- Great video for ‘Rooms’

- The Alice in Wonderland theme

- The cool mini hologram that came with the Brit release (and the bigger one you can order separately)

- Stevie gets her 1st hit single in Europe with ‘Rooms’

- nice tour book

- Stevie yelling at the security guards for roughing up her fans at one of the 1989 shows (“Don’t f*ck with my people, or I’m gonna get real f*ckin' angry!!!!”

- Nice covers for the '2 Kinds of Love' and 'Whole Lotta Trouble' singles


DISLIKES :

- ‘Cry Wolf’ (yawn - boring and not written by Stevie) ,’ Fire Burning’ (never liked this one), ‘Juliet’ (whassup with the talk-singing?!), ‘I Still Miss Someone’ (the Dolly Parton version is WAY better)

- Stevie’s ugly stage clothes for this tour (the hats, bustiers, platform sneakers, shoulder pads, etc.)

- Her klonopin addiction at this time (as seen in her zombie state of mind while on stage)

- No video for ‘2 Kinds of Love’

- To me, this album signaled the beginning of her career slump at the end of the 1980’s (when her 2 singles after ‘Rooms’ didn’t chart)

- Don't like the covers for the whole album, or for the 'Rooms' single.
