I was Dead for 7 Weeks in the City of Angels is the fourth album of the Spanish rock band Dover, released on 17 September 2001. It sold 200,000 copies. 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.
