One of the best rock albums

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

One of the best rock albums ever, Against the Wind is a delightful listening experience. Bob Seger hit it out of the park with this collection. Highly recommended for anyone who likes that old time rock. Long Twin Silver Line is one of Seger's best rockers, right up there with Katmandu and Get out of Denver. I saw Bob Seger recently in concert on his 2019 farewell tour. He sang four of the ten tracks from Against the Wind, all sounding at least as good as the record. Let's hope Bob and the Silver Bullet Band will occasionally perform in the future.

Most of these by Bob Seger I had on albums. And I am collecting now on cd. Seen Bob in concert some years back. He gave a good show then and heard that he still gives a good show.

Every single CD cover of the four I ordered came severely cracked in at least one corner (2 in each of 2 packages). I crossed my fingers when opening and fortunately the CDs were not damaged. Since I had extra cases it was okay but I deducted one star for the damage.

If you had to choose a single voice of blue-collar American rock & roll, you might well settle on Bob Seger's as that iconic sound. AGAINST THE WIND could be Exhibit A as you face down the Springsteens and the Pettys and the Mellencamps make your case.

There are several tracks on this album in which Seger hits his stride and holds it long enough to sound as though he'd have to be invented if he were not available to sing in just this way. 'You'll Accomp'ny Me' is the first of them.

Along with the album's eponymous 'Against the Wind', 'Accomp'ny' is arguably Seger's most well-known tune, but it is not the only one that establishes a subset of his styles as the one that he's come to be known by. 'No Man's Land' is its twin.

Seger fans slot intuitively into a certain, ineffable Seger-esque groove when the SBB gets into its balladic rhythm, setting the table and the stage for Seger to do his best, abbreviated, enigmatic story-telling. Just listen to the Silver Bullet amble up to speed on 'No Man's Land' and you'll know what I mean. Like the best poetry, which tells us enough of its story to allow us to catch hold to one of its horns and merge our own tale with the poet's words, Seger is at his best when he talks to us about the tip of the iceberg. We fill in the rest.

Don't get me wrong. Seger also rocks in formulaic in-your-face mode as well and his music is beloved by fans of that style ('The Horizontal Bop', 'Her Strut'; Long Twin Silver Line' [good grief, the man can sing a half-interesting song about a *train*; what next, a semi-blues, testosterone piece about, say, his desk lamp?], 'Betty Lou'). But we're talking icons here, and Seger the balladeer is Seger the icon. The rest is some very fine window dressing.

AGAINST THE WIND belongs up there on the list of signature albums as well, an observation I'll make as long as I'm in ranking and list-makin' mode. Seger cemented something with this album. It was already there, but this cd plants the flag and says, 'I'm Bob Seger and these are my Silver Bullet boys. 'You got a problem with that?'

Nobody does, of course. The music is too good for makin' trouble.

BOB SEGER AT HIS BEST!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2000

Verified Purchase

This is probably Seger's best album/CD. The music is top notch with absolutely no low points. This CD is perfect for the casual Seger listener because the CD delivers a well rounded group of songs that will appeal to everyone.

If you saw a Seger concert during the late 1970s or early 1980s, you will enjoy this CD because it is vintage Seger.

The only improvement would have been to add some of the outtakes from the CD such as Can't Hit The Corners and Sunset.

I also found it hard to believe that Dave Marsh reviewed this album in Rolling Stone and called it Seger's worst record along with being a cowardly piece of work. Marsh is known for his close association with Bruce Springsteen (his wife works with his manager)and hopefully that association did not effect his opinion because Marsh is totally off-base with his comments.
