The album starts off softly with "Evil Is Alive And Well," a song that has only an acoustic guitar and bass. These are the only two instruments played on this song to accompany Dylan’s instantly memorable voice. While his voice still sounds similar to what it did when he was with the Wallflowers, on these softer, acoustic-filled tracks, his voice sounds more like his father’s. Despite the similarities, this track, like his work with the Wallflowers, stands on its own.
The first single, and one of the better songs on the album, is "Something Good This Way Comes." The song sounds like it came right out of the late ‘60s or early ‘70s with Dylan’s fine vocals and guitar picking. This soon-to-be coffee shop classic is one of the few songs on the album to have a guitar solo and extensive background vocals towards the end of the song. While the guitar sounds like more of a mix of blues and folk on this song, the bass and drums sound jazzy.
While this is without a doubt a good album, at times it sounds a little repetitive. There is very little variety, with every song having the same acoustic folk rock sound; the sound his dad has excelled in so well. Seeing Things sounds nothing like an album from the Wallflowers; it sounds more like the solo album of the Wallflowers singer -- which is exactly what it is.
