Stevie Nicks' fourth solo album received more than its share of negative reviews from rock critics, who seemed to mistake her poetic and not always terribly discernible lyrics for pretentiousness. Although not as strong as Nicks' three previous solo dates, The Other Side of the Mirror is a decent album that has many more pluses than minuses. While there are a few less-than-memorable moments, some of the songs -- including "Long Way to Go," "Ghosts," and "Whole Lotta Trouble" -- are fairly strong. Nicks' more devoted followers will want this album, which should be purchased only if one already has Bella Donna, The Wild Heart, and Rock a Little. ~ Alex Henderson

Essential Stevie Nicks! In my opinion Stevie Nicks is one of the essential female lead singers of all time! Incredible voice, talented songwriter and an influential carrier in rock music for 3 decades!
My personal favourite is "I still miss someone", written by no other than Jonny Cash! Other great tracks to be mentioned here is: "Room on fire" & "Fire burning"! All in all a strong album and worth owning together with the exellent cd: "Rock a little"! Submitted by hobbykonto (Oslo, Norway) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
Two Strong Tunes There is only one Stevie Nicks. I still have a high school crush on her. She melts my heart like no other female vocalist (or male for that matter). But on this album, only "Long way to Go" and "Rooms on Fire" sound really fresh. And that's plenty good enough for me. The rest of the tunes have some merit, and are very listenable, but I keep flipping back to the first two songs. Submitted by njbarratt (Toronto, ON, Canada) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Two Kinds of Love And I felt both of them. It was a time My rooms were on fire. And I could feel Magic everywhere and for once my Heart casted it.
It was and is a Album that says it all. And I wish I could go back through the othr sise of the Mirror. Submitted by greatiam1965 (Chesterfield County VA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
