"Reset was the first band I ever officially called myself a fan of. My brother was a fan and took me to a show when I was really young. And even then, I really liked it. Punk's always been in my blood and this bought that out. Having become a fan before Chuck left, I was used to his style of drumming and wasn't open to him being kicked out of the band and them bringing in a new drummer. But it makes no difference. No Limits is just as awesome as No Worries was. Bouvier's lyrics are just as truthful and helpful as ever and musically the band grew. My favourite tracks off the disc are Friend (which was written about Chuck) and Let Me Go, which is the perfect "I'm growing up" song. The whole cd rules and I highly suggest you buy it now and listen to it loud. I also suggest you buy Simple Plan's debut No Pads, No Helmets... Just Balls. Pierre, Chuck, and David are in SP. But beware, SP and Reset sound nothing alike!"

"This album is a must have, but even more so, No Worries is a must have. But where is it? I found Reset through a mislabeled file on napster, that claimed to be New Blink 182. The filename was Reset- Why? and I immediatly downloaded everyhting I could find by the band. Melodic punk, one album that was obviously written out of teen angst, and then an album detailing the experience of the first, No Limits is an amazing compromise between a polished sound and music with some major heart. Hearing simple plan saddens me to know that Pierre can't let ONE iota of his talent into the music.There's a song about alienation that expresses the emotion on par with Pink Floyd, but through pierre's words, and with some optimism, there's a song to his mom, there's a song about betrayal, and the saddest bit is that Pollution is about not selling out, and two months after the release, Pierre decided to go sell out.Buy this album, and if you can find it, Buy No Worries, and if you can get to Canada, Buy Armageddon, as a matter of fact, buy more than one copy and list it here."
