Done with Mirrors, Aerosmith's eighth studio album, came out on November 4, 1985, and it was meant to be the big comeback. Joe Perry, gone since 1979, and Brad Whitford, gone since 1981, were back after drug addiction and internal conflict had split the Boston band, and after a comeback tour the old five of Steven Tyler, Perry, Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer made their first record for Geffen, with Ted Templeman producing.
It's raw and greasy blues-based hard rock, the twin guitars snarling as if the lost years had never happened and Tyler yowling over the top. Critics liked it, but it fell short of what everyone had hoped for commercially. The real resurrection came the next year, when the band remade "Walk This Way" with Run-D.M.C., and Permanent Vacation followed in 1987. "Let the Music Do the Talking" is the track that surfaced on the countdowns.
