I could put knives in a microwave and it would be a bad idea. I could put knives in a cutlery drawer and it would be a good idea. Some things belong in certain areas and some things definitely don't go together. Attack Attack! don't mix metalcore and synthywhoahaaa very well at all.

Album Rating: 2.0

Still, that's an opinion. I could say Imogen Heap (I haven't listened to them and I'm sure it's good or whatever) integrates the vocoding badly, and that it shouldn't mix. That's an opinion.



That metaphor is cute, but it isn't really relatable. Some people love stuff that other people hate and there's a lot of wiggle room there. Knives in a microwave is bad. There's no way it's ever gonna be a good idea. That's a fact. Music is subjective.



(Kinda feel that I didn't word this well enough, but whatever, I'm sure you can see my point if you look hard enough. Let me know if you want it clarified.)

I started listening to Attack! Attack! on their MySpace a few months before they released this record. I really enjoy the ridiculous amount of auto-tuning and the breakdowns just work. Some bands simply cannot be taken too seriously. Take Blink 182 for instance. They're definitely not amazing musicians, but they have a distinct sound coupled with catchy lyrics and we all see where that's landed them. My point is, there are better pop-punk bands than Blink and better "core" bands than Attack! Attack, but that speaks nothing of the atmosphere their music creates.



I agree with most of the comments, as well as the review. The record isn't great but it isn't infeasible to imagine someone playing this record at some freaked-out, mosh/dance party. I like it.



Also, this is metalcore? I thought it was post-hardcore...

Fun album is fun

Also, this is metalcore? I thought it was post-hardcore...

before coming to this site, i thought i knew the difference, but now not so much. what is the difference between the two, anyone know?

post hardcore= Refused

metalcore=Converge

that doesn't help me much, i listen to neither.

I always thought post-hardcore put more emphasis on sung vocals over screamed, but there must be more difference than that.

Metalcore = August Burns Red, As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage

Post-Hardcore = At The Drive-in, Fugazi, Fear Before

This is metalcore to me, theres breakdowns, harsh vocals, and lots of double kick bass....thats just my opinion though

okay but look, Converge is metalcore and so is As I Lay Dying. Yet, they sound totally different.

yeah. i've heard people call fear before, bless the fall, attack attack!, and underoath post-hardcore and metalcore.

also people get that mechanical sound live by singing through a laptop and it's a vocode program. you're all wrong i don't care.

idk about this review, they don't always play the same type of music but they told shred in an interview that their new album Shizzam is going to be something out of this world that no ones ever heard before so i guess we'll have to wait and see
