  <review>No Limits is the second studio album for Belgian/Dutch eurodance band 2 Unlimited. With this release, they became the only eurodance artist to have a UK number 1 album - a feat that they achieved twice. As their British record company PWL were dissatisfied with Ray Slijngaard's raps, the British version of this album replaced most of the raps with instrumental parts. No Limits yielded five singles and went platinum in several countries. Like all the studio albums by the band, the title of the album was a modification of the title of the lead single to be taken from it. The artwork for the UK cover was designed by Julian Barton and David Howells. As like all the 2 Unlimited releases, most other territories featured a different album cover to the UK edition of the album. Unlike their previous album in the UK, where many of the tracks featured on it were instrumental, the artwork to this album featured Ray and Anita on the front cover. For the debut album, most of the writing had been done by the Belgian producers/songwriters Wilde and de Coster, with some input from Ray Slijngaard and other featured writers. For No Limits, both Ray and Anita had much more input into the song writing process compared to the previous album. Anita has writing credits on seven of the album's fourteen songs and Ray has writing credits on ten of them.</review>

They scored a total of sixteen international chart hits, including "Get Ready for This", "Twilight Zone", "No Limit", and "Tribal Dance". The act has sold eighteen million records worldwide.
