Attack Attack!

Not to get confused with the Welsh band, Attack! Attack! (with two exclamation marks), Attack Attack! is a hardcore band from Westerville, Ohio. They are currently signed to Rise Records (Dance Gavin Dance, In Fear and Faith). They're albums contain Christian-based lyrics, however they do not claim to be a Christian band.

Attack Attack!'s new self titled album came out on June 8, 2010; I got this album the day it came out, and have not stopped listening to it since! This is the first album recorded with the new singer, Caleb Shomo after the departure of Austin Carlile. This is one of the most unique albums I have heard in a long time. The majority of the songs are dark, much darker than they're previous album, Someday Came Suddenly. The song, "Lonely" featuring Jason Cameron of Bury Tomorrow is a soft song, and is the only one on the album that contains no screaming vocals. The song "Shut Your Mouth" is an electro song featuring McSwagger. There is a lot of techno, and piano that is used throughout most of the songs, but the main vibe I got from this album was very dark and heavy.

Rating: I give this album an 8/10. 

It was a very well constructed album, with songs that just make you say, woah! It is diverse in that it is not your typical hardcore album; It contains techno/almost hip hop, and soft lyrics throughout. However, I think they could have done a better job with it, but for what it's worth, it is a great album!
