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!

First of all, let me say that I saw Reset in concert over 10 times and that it was, in my humble opinion, one of the best Punk-rock bands from 1996 to 2001.

This is the second album that Reset made, the first one "No Worries" had a different lineup: they had a bassist and Chuck(currently in SP) was the drummer and it sounded a bit "garage", but it's one of the best bebut album I have heard, the style is like a mix of NoFX-Punk in Drublic, Pennywise-Unknown Road and Bad Religion-Recipe for Hate.

On the second album, Pierre took up Bass duties and Andrian replaced Chuck on the drums. This album sounds really great, the guitar sounds a lot like the guitars in Pennywise back in the "About Time" period (Phil is a huge Heavy Metal fan and it shows in his style). The drumming is really good (Adrian is a much better drummer than Chuck was) and it is really fast paced. With melodic vocals and harmonies. This album is fast, aggressive and still remains as catchy as the first one. If you like Strung Out, Pennywise and Bad Religion, this CD is for you. Keep in mind that this band comes from Quebec and that it really mesures up to the best Californian Punk bands.

From Pierre's own opinion, Simple Plan is a slower paced, more commercial style than Reset used to be (read: they got fed up of not making money out of fast paced energic punk-rock and decided to make money at the cost of toning down). So, if you are into MxPx, Mest, Good Charlotte and Blink 182, you will probably prefer Simple Plan, but in my opinion, it's a shame that Reset died to give birth to SP, Simple Plan is good but it's not has original and unique has Reset used to be.

Reset RULES!

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.

How hilarious is it that this guy now sings for Simple Plan? What a classic example of pure sell-out. Reset was sick-good. Simple Plan for some reason make me want to throw up. This album is tremendous in every aspect. Three highlites for me are 'let me go', 'what now' and in particular the closer "Double Cross". This is an absolutely amazing song with incredible guitar and drums. Often gives me goosebumps and I find that I can't get the volume loud enough in my car when I play this. But nice work Pierre, good career move I'd say...homo

if u like bands like bad religon then u will defintely LOVE this cd,i was orginally a sp fan and i heard a lil bout the band reset, a couple of their songs, and then when i found out some simple plan members played in this band like pierre, david and chuck i just had to buy their cd. true it is different then the sp cd but it is wicked awesome!!! they r fast paced and more along the lines of the real punk music before it all became popular...its a great cd and worth every penny!!

I didnt know they were in a different band and it sounded this good ... i like the lyrics .. good stuff..

i started listening to reset way after they broke up..just cause i was obsessed with simple plan. and personally i think reset should have never broken up...cause they are frekin awesome...buy this cd!!

Although I have not bought the CD, I can honestly say that it's a great CD. One reason I can say that is the band is one of the best bands that I have ever heard. They have released two CDs that I know of. The first CD they released Pierre Bouvier (Lead singer of Simple Plan) was the lead singer and Chuck Comeau (drummer of Simple Plan)was the drummer. The second CD which is No Limits has David Desrosiers (bassist of Simple Plan) as lead singer. Pierre and Chuch left the band; I think to finish school. I'm not sure. Though Reset is not together anymore 3 of it's members are in a band called Simple Plan. I suggest you guys go and check them out too, but I'm warning you Reset and Simple Plan do not sound the same.

Anyways I have a couple of Reset songs and they are awesome. I especially like My dream and I and Friend. What Now? is also a really great song. BUYS THIS CD!

Reset was a real punk band and it's so sad that the celebrity and the money make them broke up simple plan will never be reset. I saw an old interview when the member were something like 15-16 years old and they were saying (actually it was chuck but the other were agree) We love punk-rock, the melody and the agressivity of the music with intelligent lyrics, that's what we want to do! Man, you were on the wright way but you failed with SP

I am a HUGE fan of SP, and I had to get this cd. I heard some songs before and it was great. The beats are deffiantly different, but I still love both. Ive heard from Phil that hes trying to get RESET to open up for Simple Plan .. that would be the best tour ever ..
