The Other Side of the Mirror
Yeah, though I'm a big Stevie Nicks fan, I don't have all of her music. While on a vacation day today, I went to our local outlets. There is a music store there, & they sell a little big of everything. They also sell used CDs. I've never bought a used CD, always been a bit afraid to, but I did today. It said that it was 100% guaranteed & it caught my eye because I didn't own it. It was Stevie's The Other Side of the Mirror. I got it for $2.99! And it's in good shape; I played it today. Didn't jump or anything. Now I have few songs off it anyway on my iPod which I downloaded from the iTunes store. I really like it. I like reading the liner notes & this one surprised me " to Waddy Wachel, always the beauty, never the beast ... (unforgettable...)." Huh?, is she trying to say that Beauty & the Beast is about him? I thought it was about Mick.
 Anyway, thought I got a good deal today. Got one more "studio" album to get & that's "Street Angel".Lee

I don't think BATB is about Waddy. But she digs the whole BATB story and I'm sure she just uses it as a nice way to say thanks, or to talk about someone, as she does in those notes.

This album is a mistical magickal beautiful thing in it's own right.
Stevie is so honest and her words make me cry like a dingleberry. I love "Doing the Best That I Can" the best, followed by "Rooms on Fire" and "Ew My Love." Unicorns*~*

I like "Rooms on Fire" and the "Doing the Best That I Can" demo. Not a big fan of the album itself though.
Meh.

I assume I'm of a minority opinion here, but 'The Other Side of The Mirror' I'd have to say must be one of my favorite Stevie solo cds, because it's the one I go back to the most- not to play the entire cd, but I really don't do that with any of Stevie's cds...From 'Mirror' there's several songs I never play, but these following, for what, TWENTY years now- are songs that I seem to need in my life: Long Way To Go, Ghosts, Doing The Best That I Can, Cry Wolf, Juliet-- and I know that 'Juliet' isn't even a great song, but something about it, the elated, trippy in-out harmonies of 'the sky is crying' segment-- it's just a good part of being alive. I also can enjoy 'Ooh My Love' and "I Still Miss Someone' and mostly everything on it, except for 'Alice' which I don't hate or anything. The one thud for me is 'Two Kinds of Love' which I just don't like, save for the 'estranged/enraged/engaged' passage which I think was a great passage of lyric writing (too bad about the rest of the song!)
Nothing from 'Mirror' really bugs me- From TISL, 'That Made Me Stronger' just makes me soooo see that she can have such serious taste issues and poor judgement and to totally blow my whole 'TISL' appreciation- there is 'Sorcerer'-- I can somewhat understand the lyric from where she was coming from in the early 70s LA scene, when she was a very young woman, but out of context, on TISL, it bugs me almost to the point of wanting to dismiss her entirely... -- "I'm tired, I'm thirsty", etc...who ya gonna call? SORCERER!" This to me is clueless, unevolved spirituality-- at age 53, when she finally released it~ I lost respect for her. A lot, actually. Yes, because of the Webster definition of 'sorcerer'. It was a case, I certainly hope, and think, of her still not knowing what she's singing. "Sorcerer- who is the master"-- SHAME ON YOU, Stevie Nicks, you dumbass! What a spiritually empty lyric to sing out to the world, when taken literally- 'Demon, who is the master'. And I don't think that's what she meant or means by it, but damn it, that's what her f*cking lyric says. Get a clue, lady, about a wrong message. (Besides, the TISL version can't hold a candle to Marilyn Martin's amazing vocal and Jimmy Iovine's epic production from the 'Streets of Fire' soundtrack... (imo, of course) I actually think 'Street Angel' is no great embarassment, though that's how they tried to sell 'TISL'---but yeah, that 'forgotten chimpanzee' line is...unforgettable. I'm sorry for this long rant, I try not to do it a lot any more. Maybe no-one can relate to my feelings about 'Sorcerer' being taken literally. It's just irresponsible, imo. When I saw her at Jones Beach a cpl years, third row i think, when she sang the line 'who is the master' I sang as loud as I could "JESUS CHRIST" back to her. She saw me. Heard me. (and I'm a quiet guy, if a loud typist in need of an editor). Vague confusion seemed to register. No, not mine Last edited by Nikolaj; 08-20-2009 at 07:57 PM.. Reason: once asked to never forget importance of capitalizing 'i'--- forgot :)

I can handle this album except for "I Still Miss Someone" - yuck. And I mean yuck.
I do like the majority of the songs. Still though, Bella Donna and The Wild Heart are tied as far as my favorites go. I just can't seem to get into the later ones.. not sure why.
