    Limitless might not be the album their fans all completely agree on, but it does mark a maturing band. [Mar 2016, p.96]

    What might be considered a sellout by some can sometimes be a positive move when handled with finesse, and Tonight Alive make a convincing go of it on soaring anthems of empowerment like "To Be Free," "Drive," and "Power of One."

    Limitless is often thwarted by its execution rather than its ambition. [27 Feb 2016, p.50]

    While their hooks are huge, there are moments within Limitless that seem too polished.

    The misstep is in the execution, resulting in sound that bears little resemblance to their previous efforts. At best, Limitless is an overly ambitious re-invention. At worst, it’s a terribly misjudged collection.

    This is another case of a nice pop-punk band evolving/changing (or "selling out", some would say). The album themes and lyrics seem meaningfulThis is another case of a nice pop-punk band evolving/changing (or "selling out", some would say). The album themes and lyrics seem meaningful and honest, but musically it flirts with electronic music and only a few songs look reminiscent from previous albums. Also, it comes as a bit generic, formulaic, unoriginal, forced and uninspiring at times.

    I don't find it a bad album per se, but it's clearly underwhelming and step back from The Other Side and The Edge, the last song they released after this album. I appreciate the higher usage of piano, but not a fan of all the electronic stuff. The best songs are How Does It Feel and I Defy, probably the most reminiscent from previous albums.    … Expand

    You can appreciate that the band are trying to branch out and do new things. But it doesn't **** work.

The few bright spots (like To Be Free or How Does It Feel) can't save the album. It's a serious step down from The Other Side. So disappointed, because after hearing The Edge, I thought we were going to get some heavier stuff from the band. Instead we get electronic nonsense, and a bad crossover attempt.… Expand

Tracks like "To Be Free" and "I Deny" are fun for what they are but the rest of the album is monotonous and boring. Songs start to blend together leaving no impact, and tracks like "Drive" show a stunning drop in quality from "The Other Side." Credit where credit's due; they tried something different and that's commendable. However, the album is such a step down that from "The Other Side." Whether it's the over-production, delay and reverb slathered to make something work, or just bad songwriting (something I thought I could never accuse them of) I hope for better in the future. Listen to the two I recommended, other than that, stay away for Limitless.… Expand
