Mirrored
Mirrored is the full-length debut album by American experimental band Battles, released on May 14, 2007 in the United Kingdom, and on May 22, 2007 in the United States. This is the first time the band has incorporated vocals into their songs, as the previous EPs were completely instrumental (aside from beatboxing on the tracks "Dance" and "Fantasy" and wordless vocals on "B + T", "IPT-2" and "BTTLS"). The first single from the album, "Atlas", was released in the UK on April 2, 2007, and has been used in the PlayStation 3 game LittleBigPlanet, in the level "The Construction Site". It has also been used in the British television programmes Skins, Top Gear and Torchwood, as well as Honda for their European Civic Type R. Mirrored appeared on 2007 top album lists from several publications, including Time, NME, The Guardian, and Pitchfork.

Famous quotes containing the word mirrored:
“Ideas are so much flat psychological surface unless some mirrored matter gives them cognitive lustre. This is why as a pragmatist I have so carefully posited ‘reality’ ab initio, and why throughout my whole discussion, I remain an epistemologist realist.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“How frail the human heart must be—
a mirrored pool of thought.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
“The older woman’s love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lover’s eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grassblade and blesses every fly. It includes the ones who have a claim on it, and a great deal else besides. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
