The Limit - Reinventing the Sun

Reviewed by Kai Horsthemke

Although this grunge/ power rock trio is clearly dominated by the guitar and voice of frontman Mark Daniel, Todd Grosberg’s contribution to the overall sound and style of the band should not be underestimated. He adds not only muscular, loping bass lines that (together with Bob Chmiel’s powerhouse drumming) propel the music along, but his vocal harmonies also add a very pleasing dimension to the band’s aural impact. The Limit appear to be influenced equally by classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin and the Seattle sound of, say, Pearl Jam. They sound like they must be gas to catch live. In fact, my only criticism would be that the recording itself is a bit murky: a more defined top and bottom end would do justice to both the catchy compositions and the performances by Grosberg and his fellow thunderniks.
