Every ten years {$the Isley Brothers} reinvented themselves and managed to snatch enough consumer dollars and generate enough chart action to remain contemporary. {^Go for Your Guns} was a further attempt by {$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. {$The Isleys} shoot for the moon, never make it, but always land among the stars. This seven-song set got played to death on urban radio. {&"Living in the Life"} rocks so hard it makes cheap speakers pop; {&"Go for Your Guns"} is an instrumental jam featuring the second generation Isley brothers: {$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, midtempo 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. ~ Andrew Hamilton, All Music Guide
