Tonight Alive - Limitless

Tonight Alive

Tonight Alive's new album Limitless really does live up to its name.

 I'm a massive Tonight Alive fan, I have all their albums, I know all the songs, the drum beats, the bass lines, the lyrics.  Their punk style has always been something I loved, and related too.  So I was a little unsure when I first heard the new tracks from Limitless.  They had stepped away from their style in a big way.  

What Are You So Scared Of, Revenge & It's Thrills and The Other Side are all epic Tonight Alive albums.  Each with its own story but in essence I could pick a Tonight Alive song from a mile away just by the beefy drum beat, or guitar riff. And that's not to say that the albums are repetitive, because they aren't - they all have that tone of sometimes angry words, self doubt and of course love but from a different perspective of life.  

I think sometimes fans forget that bands like Tonight Alive started out young, it's natural to have progression in sound and lyrics and Limitless is a far cry from hearing Jenna sing about hurtful people and disappointment as was the tone of The Other Side.

Limitless has this sound that blends the best of Tonight Alive killer musical instincts, a slightly electric feel, and just a downright happy record.

The opening track To Be Free, has and independence undertone and really showcases Jenna's voice and the musical change the band as a whole have made.  It's progressive and up beat.

The whole album does have that make you want to dance feel, especially Drive.  At first this was the one song on the album that I thought was the most different from Tonight Alive of old.  But as I listened to it on repeat, I realised that this is Tonight Alive growing into themselves and their own style.  They can no longer be pegged as that token Australian Punk/Emo band.  And Drive is a track that makes you want to dance, there is nothing wrong with that.

Tonight Alive & Limitless is a step up and out.  The album is progressive, fresh, and has a sense of self belief without losing their sound. I feel like this bands potential is limitless...
