Reaching nr. 36 on the Billboard chart wasn't very good even though they got some good reviews for the album in 1985. It had gone 3 years since the last album and a comeback from Aerosmith wasn't the most interesting in the musicworld at the moment. However Ted Templeman who had recorded with Van Halen produced a full tilt rocking hardrockalbum with Done With Mirrors and I must say there are some really good songs on it, even some of the best they have recorded. The album really "lives" and there is an new found energy that was heard as far back as 6 years ago with the Night In The Ruts-album. Anyway, they toured the album well into 1986 when Tyler and Perry appeared on hip hop-band Run DMC's cover of Aerosmith's song Walk This Way and with that song reached nr. 4 on the charts and again, Aerosmith was on the map again!
1)Let the music do the talking (8,0) Originally a Joe Perry Project-song and a good kick-ass rocker.

3)Shame on you (7,5)
4)The reason a dog (7,5)
5)Sheila (7,0) More melodic than the rest of the songs.
6)Gypsy boots (8,5) Full tilt rock'n'roll!
7)She's on fire (7,5) Slow and heavy.
8)The hop (8,5) Yeah!

8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...
