1985's "Go for Your Life" is Mountain's best post-Pappalardi release by far! Bardot Damage, Shimmy on the Footlights, and Hard Times are fantastic. This CD is must-have for all Rock and Mountain fans. Buy it....you will not be disappointed.

This album is Mountain's best after the tragic death of Felix Pepparlardi. The two opening tracks "Hard Times" and "Sparks" are great. So is "Shimmy on the Dancefloor." In fact all of the tracks are great. This is the album that is worth having in your collection. There is even a short song "A Little Bit of Insanity" which is dedicated to Felix. I had this on cassette when it first came out and wore out the tape. Now that it is on CD you do not have to worry about wearing it out. If you are a Mountain fan, you should put this in your collection . . . it's that good!!!!

Nice album, real nice album actually, it's got the heavy energy of the 70's Mountain, but with a mid 80's heavy rock guitar sound (like Jacksons thru overdrive pedals) and that mid 80's big drum sound.

Choppy colour-filled riffs everywhere on here, the solos cut thru in the classic West fashion as well.

If you have all his stuff from the studio days (Leslie West, Mountain, West Bruce and Laing, The Leslie West Band), then this is an enjoyable way to finish off the journey).

I was never that much of a Mountain fan although as a guitar player, I had an appreciation for Leslie West. This CD didn't cut it for me.
