Product Description

From Amazon.com

A significant segment of the CD-buying public probably thinks of Bob Seger as the TV pitchman for those "like a rock" Chevy pickups. The problem is a little something rubbed off Seger in the process. And now he wants it back. Is that what Seger is referring to when, in "Lock and Load," he complains of "users and fakers" who've caught him in their "schemes"? He now confesses he's "spent years losin' touch of what's right and what's real." Thus it's time to "take a different road and start again." Not so quick, Bob. It is, after all, easier for a 4x4 to pass through the eye of a needle than for a multiplatinum rocker to recapture his erstwhile ideals. Seger fails, of course, but this is a noble try. Here he aims for grittier production here than fans have heard of late, but he remains a meat and potatoes rocker, unwilling to make the occasional stylistic leap contemporaries Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young rely upon to stay fresh. It's a Mystery sounds like a Bob Seger album...nothing more or less. --Steven Stolder

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock and Roll with Heart and Mind, July 17 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: It's A Mystery (Audio CD)

This is the first Seger album I've heard, and I love it. In fact, it's my faorite rock album. It's a rush to hear the lyrics of "Lock and Load," "Put Your Hands in the Air," and especially "Revisionism Street" -- I haven't heard anything so clearly poitical in decades; the messages needs to be said and heard. Seger's voice is amazing; I love the roughness and admire his control. The music is great; it's impossible to sit still when it's on. I don't know what the critics of this album are missing; I'm hearing it and judging it on its own merits, and I think it's excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars A cool album
IT'S A MYSTERY was released in 1995,four years after THE FIRE INSIDE. The long gaps between albums continue. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Its A Mystery Still To Be Figured Out
Though the album starts off with the nice rocker "Rite of Passage," and the thoughtful 80's style rock of "Lock and Load," It's a Mystery goes completely down hill from there... Read more
