4.0 out of 5 stars Great buy, but no chart topper, Sep 26 2005

Pine Lake (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Against The Wind (Audio CD)

I do not have the CD of Agianst The Wind yet, but I do have the LP from 1980, so to stand the test of 25 years and three moves, that's pretty good. The album features classic Seger Detroit rock n' roll, a couple ballads and more. (More meaning I don't know what to classify Fire Lake, maybe Country ballad??). Any who, I would say if you're a Bob Seger fan, or wanting to try something new, I gaurentee you won't feel as if you blew $15.
I'll just take it as an earlier review means that they have only seen the album cover on a small CD, on the LP, the horses look quite magestic.

This review is from: Against The Wind (Audio CD)

There are many must have's on this CD. It came out before my time, but I discovered Seger as a teen and I'm so glad that I did. "Against The Wind" is a very welcome addition to any music collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars *** - typical Bob Seger, Jun 7 2004

This review is from: Against The Wind (Audio CD)

Typical in the sense that Bob Seger's albums almost always include a number of excellent songs and a handful of forgettable ones as well.

"Against The Wind" is the last of his "classic" albums. Originally issued in 1980, it features one of Seger's very best ballads, the simple but superbly melodic "You'll Accomp'ny Me", as well as the slow rock of "Fire Lake", the title track (another ballad), and a couple of grinding rockers, most notably "Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight" and "Her Strut". And then there's all the filler...bland, formulaic numbers like "Long Twin Silver Line" and "The Horizontal Bop" (honestly!).

So, as is the case with most Bob Seger albums, this one is mostly for hardcore fans. There's a lot of good music here, but all of it is available on Seger's two "Greatest Hits" albums, and the best of the best is on the superb 1981 live album "Nine Tonight" as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seger, an artist apart from the rest
Bob Seger is really only listened to by middle-aged parents of the "Dazed and Confused" generation, but there's one song I do love. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Only one worth the money
This is perhaps the only cd that I have ever bought that was worth the money. I dished out the cash, primarily for "Her Strut," and over a year later, it still sits in... Read more
