ZxHxC: ALBUM REVIEW: Attack Attack

If you've been living under a rock, I think you'd like to know that Attack Attack! has a new album and it's pretty awesome.

If this is the first song you're hearing from their AA!'s new album, then this is basically the tone of the album. What sets "This Means War" apart from every other album of theirs, is the sound.

This time around AA!, accompanied by the fairly new positioned lead singer Caleb Shomo, has a more distinguished tone to their album. Caleb as AA!'s front man, ever since the release of their re-release of their album 'Attack Attack!', has brought a more edgy-hardcore feel to the band.

Yes, that's right, more hardcore/heavy riffs and breakdowns to satisfy your desires. With this element of heaviness added to the band, I'd say they broke away from the little-girl-hottopic-scene sound of their first album, and finally made a SOLID sound for themselves.

This Means War is an excellent release by AA! in the fact that it stays true to the clean + demonic vox of their genre, but also gives the listener a taste of the new AA!. Each track stands apart from the catchyness of the chorus, to the heavy-as-hell breakdowns, to the accompanied syth that has followed AA! since the start.

Oh and did I mention that they recorded this whole album by themselves with the help of Caleb's studio? Awesome, right!

Even if you aren't into clean vox, still give this one a try!

Attack Attack - This Means War - 8/10
