They should have called it Knockout (Part 2). Just watched the music video on YouTube and it is almost identical to the Knockout video.

I was excited for the song initially upon hearing the instrumental, sounded like a mix of Brokenpromiseland and We Don't Run, but the lyrics completely made it bland. I've been listening to it on repeat hoping it would grow on me but it's pretty forgettable.

Kudos for counting them! I've listened to the song three times + the official video and that will be it, so I actually take you at your word

Don’t have the hate for the song and yes I know I’m in the minority. I really like the video. The repetition of the song lends itself to my rhythmic running mix so it’s useful lol!

Thought I'd do a reaction to 'Limitless'

Won't be everyone's cup of tea but better than explaining with 100 odd characters on Twitter.

I just watched a few minutes of your video reaction and I thought it was great; fair play! I've no idea how you managed to talk about such a shite song for 45 minutes but good man. I agree fully with what I heard you saying.

It’s the accent that’s unbearable. 😉

With the video, I liked the sing a bit better. The video had a few cool elements. And yeah.. for the running mix, the tempi is great. It is not THAT bad but I am always hoping for a more organic sound and a song with a decent intro and outro. Not these compact radio edited songs.

I don't hate it, but I don't love it like I do Dry County, These Days, Silent Night, or Bells of Freedom either. That being said, I think it's better than half of THINFS and WAN. I like the chord progression, and definitely get the comparisons to WDR, which I still think is a better song than this. What is Phil X there for if he doesn't get to solo?

I think the video is pretty good, except for Shanks' presence. I'm in agreement with everyone who's been saying BJ should've switched producers a long time ago. The Circle is the last Shanks-produced BJ album that I actually thought was produced well.

I suspect this will be the opening song of most if not all shows for the upcoming tour. Hopefully they'll let Sleep, LH, or Bad Name open one or two like they did last time around.

I'm looking more forward to Richie's next album, whenever that may be, than BJ2020.

I gave a it a 3.

Generic, algorithm-generated-sounding and utterly forgettable. No guitar solo? There's barely any guitar at all. Sounds like a leftover from This House is Not for Sale and I didn't care for that one either. It makes be think more highly of "Because We Can". That's how poor it is.

I will give the iTunes samples a listen when I can be bothered but I doubt I'll buy the album. I never got round to buying This House is Not for Sale, a first for me with a Bon Jovi album and I still regret buying What About Now. There may be 1 song on there that might be decent but that doesn't justify a purchase from me. I do still love this band but there's really nothing to get excited about with them anymore.
