Music reviews of It's a Mystery
Music Review: This Could Not Have Been Bob Seger
Rating: 1 Stars
This review is about 12 years late. Yes, that's what I said, 12 years late. The reason being is I didn't have a computer 12 years ago, and even if I did I wouldn't have known that Amazon had such a forum for music lovers to enter a review of an album.
With that said, I am a Bob Seger fan from the beginning. You could always count on one thing when it came to Bob. When he brought out an album, you knew it would be great. Until this one. I remember bringing it home and listening and listening to it to see if it would grow on me. Now, I'm one of those people, that when I listen to new songs, the great or even good ones will pop out at me right from the first listening. With this one, I kept hoping that something would catch my ear. Here and there I heard Bob Seger. But 95% of it, I didn't hear anything remotely close to Bob Seger. This was probably the most disappointed I had ever been in hearing an artist that I love doing his new "music?".
I held onto it for about a year, never playing it. Then I decided, with part of me feeling that I was selling Bob out, to sell it to a store that re-sold used CD's. I needed money to build a collection of someone else that I loved. Before I sold it my thoughts were "It's a mystery what Bob Seger was attempting to do and say with this album. All I knew was that it wasn't the Bob Seger I knew. And I'm one of those fans that's not upset when my favorites try something new. This, for the most part was pure junk. And, it still hurts for me to say that.
Then, years went slowly past.(Don't sue me Bob, for stealing your line). Twelve to be exact. And, every once in awile I'd wander, what ever happened to Bob Seger? Where's he at, and what's he doing? No one was talking about him. Hope the heck not, but did he die and I just hadn't heard? Then, came the news of "Face The Promise".My first thoughts were that thinking the worst these past 12 years wasn't true. And, after hearing the first single, I said "Bob Seger is back!" But, I still didn't know where he was. I saw him on all the nighttime talk shows, but still no-one asked him whwere he'd been. Then, I was lucky to see him on The View, the morning show(God, bless you, it was before Rosie(I have to be the center of attention)O'Donnell was the host. Joy Bahar asked Bob, "But, Bob, where've you been? Bob said that he and his wife decided to have children. And, he thought"Hey, I've been on the road all these years and I've heard all the stories from other singers that the biggest regret they had was that they were never home to see their children grow up, take that first step, etc.". I thought to myself, isn't that great. Here's a guy who I always felt was like most of us common guys, and he is.
Since then, I've thought about "It's A Mystery". I don't know if I'm on top of this, but this is what I think. When Bob made this album he had other things on his mind(settling down with his future family), and just didn't have his heart in the music. Because, as I said earlier, this just wasn't Bob Seger to any degree. So, if there are any Seger fans who wrote him off, sort of, like I did with "It's A Mystery", go out and buy "Face The Promise". Bob Seger is back! I'm going to sound a little two-faced, but maybe someday, I'll buy "It's A Mystery" again(used mind you), just to say to myself " Well, I have everything Bob released". That's the only reason. Thanks for indulging in my 12 year late story.
