Blue Öyster Cult - Mirrors flac album

Mirrors is the sixth studio album by American hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult, released on June 19, 1979. It was the first BÖC album not produced by long-time producer and manager Sandy Pearlman, instead being produced by Tom Werman. After the success of 1976's Platinum Agents of Fortune, 1977's Gold Spectres and 1978's Platinum live effort Some Enchanted Evening, the fact that Mirrors struggled to reach Gold status disappointed band and label alike
Mirrors is the sixth studio album by Blue Öyster Cult. It was released on June 19, 1976, by Columbia Records. The album peaked at No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 200, and its second single, "In Thee," peaked at No. 74 on the Billboard Hot 100. Mirrors' failure to attain Gold certification was attributed to their attempt at a more popular sound. This remains their only album produced by Tom Werman. Eric Bloom - lead vocals, guitar. Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser - lead guitar, vocals.
Blue Öyster Cult (often abbreviated BÖC or BOC) is an American rock band formed on Long Island, New York in 1967, perhaps best known for the singles "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", "Burnin' for You", and "Godzilla. Blue Öyster Cult has sold more than 24 million records worldwide, including 7 million in the United States alone
Blue Öyster Cult tried a new producer on Mirrors, replacing longtime mentor Sandy Pearlman with Tom Werman, a CBS staffer who had worked with Cheap Trick and Ted Nugent. The result is an album that tries to straddle pop and hard rock just as those acts did, emphasizing choral vocals (plus female backup) and a sharp, trebly sound

Produced by Tom Werman. A mirror is a negative space with a frame And a place for your face it reveals What the rest of us see it conceals What you'd like it to be. Pretty girls can't look away Pretty girls can't look away Pretty girls can't look away Pretty girls can't look away.
