It was intended as their "comeback" album, but it didn't live up to commercial expectations.

In keeping with the title, all the text on the album, except for the catalog number and UPC, was written back-to-front and could be read normally by holding it up to a mirror. A mirror is an object with a surface that has good Specular reflection; that is it is smooth enough to form an Image. All but the original CD pressing flip the artwork, so it can be read without a mirror, and replaced the photo of an illusionist bending forks with one of the band. As a result, the original CD is considered desirable by fans. The title is a double entendre, referring both to illusions that are "done with mirrors", as well as the band having ostensibly left its drug days (i. Not to be confused with Puns which employ multiple phrases A double entendre is a Figure of speech similar to the Pun, in e. cocaine, which is traditionally snorted off of a mirror) behind them.

"Let The Music Do the Talking" was a new recording of the title track of the first album by The Joe Perry Project, with altered lyric and melody. The Joe Perry Project was essentially Aerosmith Guitarist Joe Perry's solo project which Perry started working on shortly before his departure from Aerosmith
