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.
' 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
