Against the Wind was an immediate commercial success, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart in its third week and remaining there for five weeks behind Pink Floyd's The Wall before.

Bob Seger achieved full-fledged rock stardom with 1976's Night Moves , but while his raspy howl may have been new to a generation of fans, he'd actually been chipping away at mainstream success for many years - and when he soared even higher on the charts with 1978's Stranger in Town , he still wanted more. In fact, admitted Seger years later, he was gunning for nothing less than a chart-topping hit when he entered the studio to work on what would become his 11th studio LP, Against the Wind. I was aiming for a totally commercial album, he told the Los Angeles Times. Against the Wind was the highest ranking single from the album, coming in at 5.

Throughout Against the Wind, Seger winds up performing better on the ballads than the rockers, which, while good, tend to sound a little formulaic. Still, Seger's formula is good and if Her Strut and Betty Lou's Gettin' out Tonight would have been second stringers on Stranger in Town, they offer a nice balance here, and the rest of the record alternates between similarly well-constructed rockers and introspective ballads like Against the Wind and Fire Lake. Compared to its predecessors, this does feel a little weak, but compared wi. Album 1980 10 Songs. A more polished affair than Night Moves or 'Live' Bullet, Against the Wind adds a little glitter to the bands otherwise dressed-down sound, whether its a touch of synthesizer on the ballads No Mans Land, Youll Accompny Me or innuendo on the rockers Her Strut, The Horizontal Bop . Not that the band lost their substance-just listen to the lament of the title track, where Seger tinkers with his favorite trope-nostalgia: Wish I didnt know now what I didnt know then.
