No Boundaries is the debut solo album by American heavy metal musician Michael Angelo Batio. Produced and entirely performed by Batio (save for three tracks featuring drummer Rob Ross)[1], it was released in 1995 by Perris Records.[2] The album was reissued in 2000,[2] and eight of the ten tracks (all but "Intro: This CD Is Dedicated to You" and "The Finish Line") were later remixed and remastered for the 2007 compilation album 2 X Again.[3] Three songs from No Boundaries have also been included on instructional video albums released by Metal Method – "No Boundaries" on Speed Lives (2004),[4][5] "Rain Forest" on Speed Kills 2 (2006),[6][7] and "The Finish Line" on Performance (2006)[8] and Speed Lives 3: The Neo Classical Zone (2009).[9][10]

An often-quoted review by guitarist Kevin Prowse describes the album as "a diverse collection of musical styles ranging from rock, metal, blues, neoclassical and funk", claiming a number of tracks "exhibit a mastery of various lead techniques like speed picking, string skipping, arpeggios and cross string tapping".[11]
