My first impression of this album is that it is a pretty good record. Although I only got it about 3 hours ago, I am really liking it. Maybe by tomorrow I will hate it, and be annoyed with it but right now I'm loving it.

Reset is a young Canadian punk band. When I say young, I mean around 18-19-20ish. They are straigh out of Montreal. They have a very melodic, pop/punk/hardcore sound to them. Haha yes, pop/punk/hardcore sound. Even though that sounds quite odd, it is true. They have a wide range of styles. Mostly sticking with pop/punk, but they have a few traits of hardcore with there sound.

This album kicks off with a short 50 second song entitled " I know", I personally find it the weakest song on the album, just because of it's length. The next tune, is where the greatness starts. "Pollution" is a nice melodic punk tune. They also have a video for that song. A few tracks later, on track 4 (My Dream And I) and track 5 (Let Me Go) are two of my favorite songs on this album. " My Dream And I" is my personal favorite song on this release. Although it is a little slower then other songs at certain points, it is wonderful. As for "Let Me Go" it is great I find because it is so melodic, it makes me sign along everytime. Tracks 6 through 11 are all medium songs. None of them are really bad, but none of the are great. Track 12 "Friend" is the first song I heard from this band. It is the song that made me get into Reset. It starts off slow with an acoustic guitar, but quickly picks up. It is one of the best tracks on this release. This album closes with a song called "Dounble Cross." This song is also one of the high points for me on this release. Another melodic tune by this young Canadian band.

All in all, this is a decent release by this group. I am sure this band will become big one day. They are really good, especially for being young. It's great to see Canadian bands making good music. I recomend to pick up this album, and also "No Worries" also by Reset!

Editor's Note: This album is out-of-print, but has been reissued on a single disc compiling No Limits and No Worries.

When you copy a band which sucks (pennywise), no wonder why the final result also sucks.

Reset was fucking awesome...anyone who said they sucked needs to go listen to them again, but listen to "No Worries" because it's a lot better...it's faster and more energetic, and the lyrics are about 6,529 times better (A Matter of Rights, United we Stand Tall, as examples)

Reset is one of the best bands ever...if fucking sucks they broke up... i saw simple plan (resets old drummer and singer), they were alright but reset was 10 times better...if u like this get no worries cuz its better

Simple Plan is just amazing! There's a new song called "Christmas List". It'll be on the MTV TRL Christmas cd (don't like the sound of TRL) but hey .. the song is actually awesome!

The album is wicked. Too bad they broke up. Check out Simple Plan, that is the new band of a few members.

Merci, and by the way I highly suggest everyone to download "Worst Day Ever" by Simple Plan. It is great, and most of the people who are in Simplae Plan, were in Reset at one time or another.

I'm moving to Canada before the end of the year to go to yet another school. damn you would figure I would have a Phd by now. Anyway, not the point... Reset is ok, But if you want good Canadian bands check out: Sparkmarker, D.B.S., By A Thread, Sector Seven, SNFU, Belevedere, and many many others I find myself liking most Canadian bands..much like Swedish punk there is something in swedish water that makes most of those bands totally rip.

good album but not the best, I prefer no worries...
and if you want to listen good bands from Quebec choose Vulgaires Machins or Capitaine Révolte (both on Indica Records) at least they sing in french...

WHat are you all talking about ? The best bands from Quebec Are The Frenetics, Fifth Hour Hero( They are on No Idea Records Now) and The Sainte Catherines ( On eyeball Records)
CHECK THEM OUT
And ohhhhh Reset And Simple Plan Sucks
