This record's title track was a Top Five pop hit. Seger laments his loss of youthful innocence--he's a workaholic with "deadlines and commitments" who's "running against the wind". The aforementioned "Fire Lake" is about trying to recapture that youthful, carefree feeling("Bronze beauties lyin' in the sun/With their long soft hair falling/Flying as they run"). "Good For Me" and "Shinin' Brightly" are great romantic ballads, and "You'll Accomp'ny Me" is the guy's determined plea for a lasting relationship with his prospective new lover. He'll "risk it all" to get what he wants. The mournful "No Man's Land" has some of the most powerful lyrics on the record: "[We'll] shiver in the darkest night/Afraid to take a stand/And then go back and do our time/Out there in no man's land." Bob plays some solid lead guitar at the end of this tune.
On his rockers, Seger gets three out of four right. "Horizontal Bop" and "Her Strut" are high-energy tunes that, like "No Man's Land", feature Bob playing a great lead guitar, and Alto Reed plays an awesome saxophone on "Horizontal Bop". "Long Twin Silver Line" features the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and has some solid musicianship by Barry Beckett on piano and Pete Carr on lead guitar. On the other hand, "Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight", although it's an infectious and well-done party tune, is almost a carbon copy of one of Bob's earlier songs, "Get Out Of Denver". The chord progressions and lead guitar parts on the two songs sound nearly identical. The only thing missing from "Get Out Of Denver" is Alto Reed's sax. Still, I really like Against The Wind. In his late '70s and early '80s heyday, Bob Seger put out great music. "Eagles-itis" on Against The Wind? No. Just solid, well-done music from a classic rocker.
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.
