Critic Reviews
Show All-
Sputnik Music
Less Nickelback & Creed, but more Bon Jovi & Def Leppard. This is better than their debut, but that’s not saying all that much.
-
Alternative Addiction
This is a straight-across rock record that serves the people who want to listen to it well.
-
Alligator
You know what they say about bands with big vocals and bigger guitars: small ideas.
-
Rock Freak
But this doesn't take away the single most annoying aspect of Hinder, the fact that they sound just like Nickelback, Seether and all that sort of bands.
-
All Music
They tread the familiar ground too carefully, winding up as bland by-the-book bad boys.
-
The Wood Word
Overall, Hinder’s Take It to the Limit produced some solid sounds and had a couple stellar tracks that will definitely attract the ears of most young listeners.
-
Hard Rock
Like them or not Hinder is one of the bands leading the revival for straight up rock-n-roll and “Take It To The Limit” is going to go a long way in helping the cause.
-
Darkscene
With the great opener "Use Me" of course - powerful riffs, killer chorus, fat backgrounds, whiskey-soaked lead vocals from another star
-
Melodic
A super safe buy!
-
Cifra Club
There is only one song or another that does not please much, in the others the album is a good one, especially for those who enjoy an 80s hard rock or grunge.
-
Maximun Ink
They may not be rocket scientists, but at least they know what their mission is: to rock.
-
Ultimate Guitar
Kudos to Blower and mike for the guitar riffs, and especially blower for the solos, which were mind blowing.
-
Anti Quiet
They’ve got nothing to say, and they’re not bringing anything new to the table
-
EW
If only the whiplash they induce resulted from real headbanging, not from trying to follow Hinder’s song-to-song indecision about whether to be studs or wimps.
-
Heavy Harmonies
I'll go as far to say I personally think it's better than their debut.
-
Bullz-Eye
Drive really fast with the windows open, and let Hinder bring the rock. Just wait till you get to your destination to party like they want you to.
-
Pandora
However, like anybody too beholden to their idols, they often tread familiar ground too carefully.
-
FYE
This repetition hammers home Hinder's stultifying lack of imagination and even that would be excusable if the group had a scintilla of sleaze.
