The Mirror was the only album of the band without vocalist and keyboardist Mike Harrison who left to pursue a solo career and was then replaced by Mike Patto. The album was released in 1974. It would be Spooky Tooth’s last album and it packs a sound reminiscent of 70’s Deep Purple or Uriah Heep. A heavy mix of hard rock with strong prog rock leanings and with an uncanny pop sensibility, The Mirror appeals to the hard-rocker as well as the fans of more cerebral psych rock.
Beautiful and abstract poetry from MC Aesop Rock in an assorted collection of complex and melodic beats. Stories are told and magnified by the spotless MC'S style of delivery, especially in themes like "No Regrets", a story about Lucy, an artist that embodies the spirit of individuality of doing what you really want and love and the anthem 9-5 er's about work and aspirations. It shapes and expands the border of hip-hop, an essential work of astract and conscious hip-hop.
