Artist: MOUNTAIN
Album: GO FOR YOUR LIFE VINYL (LP)

Year: 1985/ 2013
Media type: LP

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.

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).
