Rocking Adulthood
Opening with the rocking and surprisingly modern sounding title track, there is something to be said for a gal who can still kick some rock & roll butt after twenty some years. Pat's 2003 album features that signature Benatar sound but updated for the masses.

She even has a little waltz about lovers in 1940s Germany, a very lovely ballad called "Please Don't Leave Me" and some fairly dreamy sequences.

Of course I'm all about the sassiness and rock and of course my girl delivers, only in a more adult way than say the "Treat Me Right or I'll kick your a** 1980 Pat" instead she says, "You think you can walk on water/ you better be careful it gets pretty deep. . "

So Pat keeps up appearances on the outside while complimenting her more mature side, but yet it still feels a little lacking coming from the talent that is Mrs Giraldo. . if you're just getting into Pat I would start with the debut through her early 80s stuff but definitely go to "Gravity's Rainbow" which has the rocking vibe to it and the soul searching lyrics that Go didn't quite capture.


" GO " get Pat Benatar's Best Album since.................yester year
she sings like an Angel. This Album is so Awesome! I love Pat's Beautifully Operatic Pristine Voice. Even in her hours of Angst on a few of the songs like "GO', & "Girl".
I am so inspired by this Album of late.

My only desire is to hear more of it during her shows, instead of the old school, overplayed, same routine.
Embrace the unknown! Love It for all that it is. ROCKIN'!!

Pat and Neil are great they deserve the comfort of being able to come out into their own and not be expected to put out the old same ol lame, boring , demanded music.

the "Fans" should be more of FANS instead of choosing Fareweather ways.
GO PAT !!! You Rock!.


A fantastically awesome album. Definitely NOT a retro thing, either.


Original 2003 Review: It's taken six years for another Pat Benatar record to be released (not counting a plethora of live and greatest hits albums which I ignored). This is a review written in sections from three different years. My wife and I went to see Pat Benatar in concert on Aug 9th 2003, and it was wonderful. They had Go for sale (when we were at the concert, hadn't yet been released which was very cool to see). So I picked it up. Listened to it in the car on the way home, and on first listen, there's quite a lot of really good stuff on it. Go, Girl, Have it All, are amongst the highlights. A definite must buy - it's quite bloody good!

Update 1: As I update this in October 2004, I have to say this album is a great mix of her new adult rock style, with some smatterings of her older styles thrown in. Not to say she's returned to the 80's but this is more a rock album than Innamorata is. Right up there with Innamorata (which is my favorite all time Benatar album), in my opinion.

Update 2: As I update this yet again in April 2007, this album has grown stronger. When most people think of Pat Benatar, they think of what they remember from the 1980's. Now there's nothing wrong with the music from then, but remembering someone as an 80's artist pigenholes them into what they can be perceived in doing. Go destroys that. As some of the other reviews here have stated, Go is an ignored album. Ask your average rock fan if they have this, they'll likely say no, followed by "She's still making records", and then most likely think about the "80's stereotype". That's a damn shame. I run a website for the band Black Sabbath. I point that out, because I should, by the stereotype be the last person to love this album. The heck with that - great music is great music. This is a brilliantly strong record from start to finish. There's no filler here, and I cannot recommend this album strongly enough. It's hard to pick out individual tracks for praise because I like so many of them, but if I had to, my favorite is "Brokenhearted". But it's all good.


A GREAT REDISCOVERY
PAT CAN STILL ROCK YOUR WORLD. THIS DISC IS LIKE STEPPING BACK 20 YEARS.
I MISSED HER STYLE AND VOCALS AND LOOK FORWARD TO MORE RELEASE"S FROM HER IN THE FUTURE.
