"Go for It" is the third studio album by the Northern Irish punk rock band Stiff Little Fingers, released in 1981. It marked a departure from the band's earlier, more raw punk sound, incorporating elements of new wave and power pop while retaining their signature energy and attitude.
The album features a mix of politically charged anthems and more personal, introspective tracks. Songs like "Roots, Radicals, Rockers and Reggae" and "Silver Lining" showcase the band's social consciousness and willingness to tackle issues such as racism and social injustice, while tracks like "Just Fade Away" and "Go for It" reflect on themes of resilience, perseverance, and personal growth.
"Go for It" received positive reviews from critics upon its release, with many praising its catchy melodies, energetic performances, and the band's evolving musical maturity. While it may not have achieved the same commercial success as some of the band's earlier albums, "Go for It" remains a fan favorite and a testament to Stiff Little Fingers' enduring influence on the punk rock genre.
