Album Description
Available in: Country Icon
„No Limits!“ ist das zweite Studioalbum des niederländisch-belgischen Eurodance-Duos 2 Unlimited, veröffentlicht am 10. Mai 1993 über Byte Records, ZYX Music und PWL Continental, das den internationalen Durchbruch der Gruppe endgültig festigte. Produziert von Jean-Paul De Coster und Phil Wilde, enthält das Album die weltweiten Hits „No Limit“, „Tribal Dance“, „Faces“ und „Maximum Overdrive“, die sich durch eingängige Synthesizer-Melodien, treibende Beats und die charakteristische Kombination aus Ray Slijngaardts Rap-Parts und Anita Doth's Gesang auszeichnen. Besonders die Single „No Limit“ wurde zu einem der größten Eurodance-Hits der 1990er-Jahre und erreichte in zahlreichen Ländern, darunter Deutschland, Großbritannien und die Niederlande, Platz 1 der Charts. Kritiker lobten die energiegeladene Produktion und den sofort wiedererkennbaren Sound, während einige die repetitive Struktur bemängelten, was jedoch dem kommerziellen Erfolg keinen Abbruch tat. Mit „No Limits!“ etablierte sich 2 Unlimited als eine der prägenden Gruppen der Eurodance-Ära, das Album verkaufte sich weltweit millionenfach und bleibt ein Meilenstein der elektronischen Tanzmusik der frühen 90er-Jahre.

User Album Review
Despite its commercial success, at the time the album was panned by the critics, especially in the UK. In Smash Hits, reviewer Mark Frith described the album as an "across the board techno splurge" and stated that this album contained clues as to why the band were unpopular in "elite dance circles". In the review of Maximum Overdrive, the magazine reiterated that the band were, "not hard or imaginative and they have no credibility in dance circles."

The Allmusic review stated that beyond No Limit and Let The Beat Control Your Body, there was little to recommend this album. Toby Anstis stated in his review of Faces that he "thought the album sounded all the same". Nonetheless, the band won the Best Dance Act award in Smash Hits that year as well as the World Music Award for Benelux.

Retrospective reviews of this album and the band in general have been more favourable. Only three years after the band split, they were described in a Guinness World Records publication as "spectacular" with the sound of No Limit being compared to "the sound giant dinosaurs might make stomping on cities". Their entry then goes on to describe their choruses as "chant-worthy" and that the singles from this album "ravaged hearts and minds across the globe", ending with the statement that they "linger forever in the hearts of true music lovers".
