"Reinventing
the Sun" is the second release of
The Limit, a band that can be classified
as a power trio. The band has taken
part in many shows in the US, supporting
bands like Disturbed, Steve Vai,
Buck Cherry, Living Colour, Alterbridge,
Fuel, and many others, and this has
helped them gain many experiences
that are reflected on this album.
The mission of the band is simple;
to play pure, genuine Hard Rock.
So the influences of the band in
this wealthy album (thirteen tracks!)
range from Eagles to Boston and from
Styx and Bad Company to Whitesnake's
first era.
While the album
cover doesn't
help the first contact with the album
at all (in my opinion of course),
the container of the album, which
is the music -and that's
more important- is quite good. In
contrast to the bass, which is dynamic
and performed stormily by Todd Grosberg
(and at some points substitutes the
guitar itself; it also reminded me
of the ‘70s style of Hard Rock),
the guitar is not as dynamic as I
would have wanted. That may be because
they are only three members in the
band and the lead singer is also
responsible for the guitar, but it
could also be a production problem.
I am sure the guitar melodies would
be a lot better if there was a fourth
member that would help reinforce
the overall power. "Reinventing
the Sun" was produced by the
band itself and mixed by Matt Wagner
and shows that the band has margins
of improvement and they are on the
right track. The songs in this fine
release have a catchy tone and rhythm,
which is after all the main target
in pure Hard Rock.
