Customer Reviews Stevie Nicks at her best! Each song, from "Long way to go" to "Juliet" reveals the sultry side of the sexy siren, whose enchanted lyrics and melodies of love's more intimate and sometimes darker side, captivates the imagination. Soulful, fun and energetic, "The Other Side of the Mirror" is Stevie Nicks at her best. "Mirror" has great power and can touch the heart of the listener familiar with the singer's genre, if only one will listen and dare to step through to "The Other Side of the Mirror". Best Stevie Album Ever! The songs Rooms on Fire, Cry Wolf and Juliet are phenomenal and can be listened to repeatedly. This is by far my favorite Stevie Nicks album. . A Firm Favourite... "The Other Side of the Mirror" is very keyboard and synth based, due to the presence of Rupert Hine, the man responsible for Tina Turner's "Private Dancer", which alienated alot of fans. This album has received its fair share of negative feedback, from critics and certain fans alike, however, I have always had a personal soft-spot for this album. The production is very European, which probably explains why it was so succesful outside of the US, and received such a slacking within. Stand-out tracks include the single "Rooms on Fire" and the luscious "Ooh My Love", "Long Way to Go" and the emotional "Ghosts", which is a track I have always felt Stevie wrote just for me. However, the best track on this album would have to be "Doing the Best that I Can (Escape from Berlin)", which is quite possibly the best song Stevie ever wrote lyrically. It is filled with pain and anguish, and is a real reflection of the personal turmoil most fans know Stevie went through in the late 80s to mid-90s period. This would definately be the most underrated album of Stevie's career, and definately deserves to be given a chance. .
