3.0 out of 5 stars ***½ - typical Bob Seger, 7 Jun 2004
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
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 older now, but still running ..., 23 Jan 2009
on my cd-player once in a while. Even if not his overall best, with running against the wind this cd contains one of his best songs both lyrically and melodically. Even if played to death on the radio back in the old times when radio was still THE medium, it still remains the a great song.

Other highlights in my opinion include you'll accompany me, fire lake and shine on brightly. But also the rockers are not bad at all.

Bob Seger's curse is that he is famous for his "easy listening" ballads while he is an excellent rocker. PLAY IT LOUD and you will hear what I mean.

"Seems like yesterday ..."
