FINALLY.......2007-02-10

The only "Rock Era" music that speaks to motivation, self determination, and focusing on being a good person - all while rocking hard.
"Ain't it up that I gotta go?"
Yes!

Right On Target.......2006-11-05

As far as I'm concern The Isley Brothers peaked with this album. There is not a bad song on here. Opening with the funky "The Pride" followed by the haunting "Footsteps in the Dark", check out Ernie Isley's drum playing on this song, yeah, the man was more than just a guitar wizard. Next is the soulful "Tell Me When U Need It Again" with a nice synth beat, followed by the rockin "Climbing Up The Ladder" which includes some electrifying lead guitar playing by Ernie, who I would rate as one of the finest axmen of all time. The beautiful "Voyage To Atlantis" proves that nobody can sing a ballad like Ronald Isley and, once again, check out Ernie's wailing guitar, as it sets the tone for this gorgeous song. And finally the album closes with the slammin "Go For Your Guns" a mixture of funk and rock which The Isley Brothers took to an art form and sadly nobody is doing today.

THEY WERE AND STILL ARE A BADDASS GROUP!!!.......2006-03-19

My step father use to blast this group twenty-four seven.
One thing I always liked about the Isley Brothers sound (which is missing in today's so-called music), they had a rock and funk appeal. For example the cut "Livin In The Life" the intro just drops this funky bass on you like DAMN!!! I have to reply that again!!! Then the precussion guitar kicks off with the beat just rockin and rollin away, I mean this was a baddass jam.

But I always liked this rare up tempo track (was never played on the radio) by the Isley Brothers, which was the b-side to the
12 inch version of "I Want To Be With You" called "Rockin with Fire." So question people, WHICH ALBUM (OOPS! CD NOW) CAN I FIND THIS OTHER BADDASS RARE TRACK BY THEM? HELP!!!!

So far ahead of it's time.......2005-02-07

This album is a great example of the great music made in the 70's that never made it to the radio. The Isley brothers have always been makers of great music. They have always been colorblind in making their music, it wasn't disco, it wasn't even funk in the way that many people think of the genre'. This album like the rest of the work they did in the late seventies was a rocked up funk, suitable for clubs, parties and dances, that is if you could find a club, dance, or party that didn't play the tripe that was on the radio at the time. I love this album! Livin in the Life was my mantra during those years and I remind myself of it from time to time rattling the windows of my car. Too bad that this innovative work didn't have the influence that it should have at the time, music today would have been enormously better off.

Break It On Down.......2004-07-14

Go For Your Guns is probably the best album the Isleys ever put out (I can't decide between it and Harvest For The World). It opens with the funkdafied "The Pride". When they say they gon break it on down, they break it down! "Footsteps in the Dark" is a mellow funk number and will have you groovin'. "Tell Me When You Need It Again" is one hell of a groove and is my favorite song to listen to while I drive. "Climbin' Up The Ladder" is my least fav but it's still great and let's Ernie tear it up on guitar. "Voyage To Atlantis" was the first song I heard from the Isleys that was a slow jam. Before that I knew of "It's Your Thing", "That Lady" and "Fight The Power" but "Atlantis" served notice, at least to me, that they could slow it down. "Livin' In The Life" and it's extension "Go For Your Guns" are some bad ass funk jams that let ya know no one has an easy life no matter how it may seem. I was born 10 years after this album was made and I absolutely love it. GO OUT AND GET IT!
