Go On...

1987 studio album by Mr. Mister

Go On... is the third album by American pop rock band Mr. Mister, released on September 8, 1987, by RCA Records. It features a more serious tone than their previous album Welcome to the Real World, which was commercially successful. This album did not fare as well commercially and would become the last publicly released album by the band before they broke up in 1990.

Reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

In their retrospective review, AllMusic contended that Go On... retained the same themes, stylistics, and quality of work as their previous releases, and that "[t]he only significant change was in record sales". They particularly praised the album's lyrics, commenting, "during the height of the materialistic '80s, Go On was an example of a band using its pop culture bully pulpit to suggest that the "greed is good" philosophy was leaving a spiritual vacuum in American culture."[5]
