Nearly 50 years into his legendary career American Rock and Roll icon Bob Seger has no intention of slowing down. He’s sold upwards of 25 million albums and is playing to sold out stadiums on a nightly basis. His new album I Knew You When was written in dedication to the late Glenn Frey and features the lead single ‘Busload of Faith’ (a Lou Reed cover).

Mortality is on Bob Seger’s mind on I Knew You When, an album dedicated to his departed friend Glenn Frey. I Knew You When contains two tributes to Frey – the sepia-toned title track and “Glenn Song,” the latter available only on the album’s deluxe edition – but the onetime Eagle isn’t the only dead rock star to haunt the album. Seger covers Lou Reed and Leonard Cohen, both selections – “Busload of Faith” and “Democracy” – nodding to the American mess of 2017, another element that adds a sense of immediacy to the record. Despite these undercurrents of sentiment and politics, I Knew You When can’t quite be called a meditative, melancholy record, not with roughly half the record devoted to fist-pumping arena-fillers that feel piped in from several different eras. “Runaway Train” is confined by a robotic pulse that channels “Shakedown,” “The Highway” is dressed with ’80s synths, and “The Sea Inside” is a clumsy nod to Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir,” sounds that not only fight with Seger’s protests and tributes but fight with each other. These old-fashioned album rockers are so loud and awkward, they overshadow the excellent singer/songwriter album that lurks at the core of I Knew You When. Such imbalance makes I Knew You When a bit incoherent, yet in its quietest and angriest moments, it offers some of the best music Seger has made in the 21st century.
