User Album Review
Every ten years the Isley Brothers reinvented themselves and managed to snatch as many consumer dollars and generate enough chart action to remain contemporary.
Go for Your Guns was a further attempt by the Isleys to broaden their fan base.
Earlier in the decade they redid many rock standards to expand from the R&B base they were mired in. The Isleys shoot for the moon and never make it, but they always land among the stars.
This seven-song set got played to death on urban radio.
"Living in the Life" rocks so hard it makes cheap speakers pop.
"Go for Your Guns" is an instrumental jam featuring the second generation Isley Brothers:- Ernie, Marvin, and Chris Jasper (Rudolph Isley's brother-in-law).
The lovely, mystical "Voyage to Atlantis" is a staple of their live concerts, its opening strains acknowledged by deafening, enthusiastic applause.
Like many Isley tunes, the loping, mid-tempo love tale "Footsteps in the Dark" has been sampled silly.
"Pride" is a steady beater with uplifting words for the downtrodden.
Nothing dull, no filler.
