[edit] Music

The music in Mirror has a notably more variable sound than the previous Coll:set album.^[1] It retains some of the gothic influence, while introducing an experimental pop music sound.^[2] Most of the album has a very fast tempo, only slowing for "Screen" and "Squall", however the band has called this unintentional. ^[1]
