The album "Mirrors" by Blue Öyster Cult was originally released on June 19, 1979. It was the band's sixth studio album and marked a departure from their earlier, darker sound, moving toward a more polished and radio-friendly production style. The album was produced by Tom Werman, who had previously worked with bands like Cheap Trick and Ted Nugent. The album features contributions from band members Buck Dharma, Eric Bloom, Allen Lanier, Joe Bouchard, and Albert Bouchard, with lyrics on some tracks co-written by science fiction author Michael Moorcock. Although Mirrors did not achieve the same commercial success as some of the band's earlier releases, songs like "In Thee" and "The Vigil" remain highlights in their catalog.
