I was Dead for 7 Weeks in the City of Angels is the fourth album of the Spanish band Dover, released on 17 September 2001.[3] It sold 215,000 copies, getting, thus, two platinum discs.[4] The name of the album comes from a series of irregularities that the group had in its recording stage, as Cristina was sick for several weeks and there were a number of problems with producer Barrett Jones.
