Attack Attack!




Band Name:Attack Attack!
Released: June 8, 2010
Label: Rise
Genre: Metalcore, post-hardcore, electronicore
"Crabcore?! I think its good."

I was stoked when I first heard their track "Sexual Man Chocolate" during the time the said track has been serving the teaser trailer for their upcoming album. In mid-summer, I was really anticipating this album, especially to the fact, their former lead vocals (succeeding Austin) left with no hard feelings.
Okay, enough chit-chat and side tripping, let's go for the review.

If you are a fan of Attack Attack! or just a listener since they released their previous album Someday Came Suddenly and thinking this would be the same, think again. The growls/lead vocals of Caleb Shomo, will cover those expectations while still sticking to the electronica/metalcore sound.

Kinda different with their previous album/demo, but it is kinda disappointing if you want some high tone screaming, but the power of pop electronica is their to helped you out. Take for an example the track "Shut your Mouth"(ft.Mcswagger)- a "dancy" song and some dubstep eccentricities would rave you out.
Anyhow, the last track "Lonely"(Ft.James Cameron of Bury Tomorrow) seems to please me everytime I listen to it.
Okay for some Metalpart, Try to listen "Turbo Swag" and "A for Andrew". The breakdowns seems surreal and got a positive impact on riffs.
For something unique to listen to, try the track "Smokahontas" and "Fumbles O' Brian" which has disco influenced dubstep breakdown.

To give my conclusion, Attack Attack! did good on making their own sound influence metalcore to electronica fest. Rate: 10/10..:D
