Title: Much maligned but basically good
Review: I see we have a claim that "only Revolution by Night was worse". Frankly I couldn't disagree more. Ok, so Mirrors is hardly "classic" BOC, but then take a listen to their early stuff - there is no such thing as typical BOC. Mirrors is not their best, but it has some brilliant tracks. "In Thee" shows a side of the band that few heavy bands dare try, yet the BOC pull it off in superb style. "The Vigil" has one of the best instrumental breaks ever. It's lighter and less metallic than some people would like, but let's face it, the heaviest metallest BOC album of all is that total pile of crap "Imaginos". BOC were at their best being different, and Mirrors is different.
