You could call it a breath of fresh air considering where they were going, but some of Done With Mirrors may even be underproduced (and underwritten, which isn't as good). "Shame On You" sounds like they're live in the studio without overdubs, and fades out like they never bothered to come up with an ending. With no real standouts, it seems like a perfectly satisfying record of "deep tracks" for the Aerosmith fan.

Everything after Night has been horrible. They never should have given up drugs.
I stand by what I said 10 years ago.

I've heard conflicting reports about whether they were drug-free by 1985?

"conflicting reports" = "dumb internet gossip"

Their drug albums are so superior to their sober albums it’s not even worth discussing.

I don't usually speculate about the inner lives of public figures but I do always wonder about how Tyler feels about the split. because they got SO much more successful after Vacation. like, "don't have to worry about some late-in-life-move," casino-gig-for-life successful. whereas when they were high, the chances were good they were just going to spin out & vanish. but nobody, in the world, can seriously claim that their sober music is a patch on what they did when they were the Toxic Twins. I was in an Alabama recording studio where there was a really elaborate lead-pencil graffiti on the console, really super sweet, and I said, what's this, and they said, oh Steven Tyler did that when he was tracking here about three years ago, and I thought, this dude has a strong creative streak and it hasn't been evident in his music since he saved his own life & settled his finances & those of his offspring forever. and yet. he has to know.

I would have liked to have heard them with a more swinging drummer back in the day. Joey’s fine but. His fills sound like constuction site noise
