04.03.14 | Some of their riffs are cool & Rage was actually pretty good tbh. I'd honestly rather listen to their stuff than most pop/hip hop/rnb/whatever chart bs.
I mean there's definitely potential there. But at the end of the day their ultimate downfall is that there's not really anything of genuine substance, guile or appeal beyond some groovy guitar work.
Thus - they're pretty much restricted to being 'fun' at very best. |

04.03.14 | Yer they really do have some appallingly atrocious lyrics & tend to suffocate the songs with breakdowns far too often - which is why I can't really stomach listening to them even on a semi-frequent basis.
But objectively they're still nowhere near as bad as shit like One Direction, Bieber, Chunk Captain Chunk, Blood On The Dancefloor, Brokencyde, Abandon All Ships & all that kinda stuff that makes me want to put a shotgun in my mouth & pull the trigger just to end the suffering. |

Pennywise_M
04.10.14 | Oh i missed this one. Can't be arsed going through the whole list but i'd like to give my input. I think people hate on them for the same reason they hate on other successful cookie cutter core bands + these guys have some legitimate reasons to be hated on. Their lyrical contents, the tough guy attitude and mainly the one the fronz displays on their latest album i mean, now they're just obnoxious but that was their point to begin with. "any publicity is good publicity" kind of thing.
Other than that, i couldn't disagree more with all the people going nuts over their music being "shit". I feel like it's all kinds of wrong to say that. You don't like it, ok. Yeah their latest album is pretty dumbed down in comparison to the others. But so help me doge, when an Attila song pops up i KNOW i'm listening to Attila. The riffs, the jumpy breakdowns - the vocalist. Fronz may be an obnoxious little asshole or what have you, but you can't deny how talented he is. The dude goes down like a rhinoceros and up like a fucking wombat, he's a fast screamer, he delivers. fucking hell he does. And i suggest y'all listen to Rage/Outlawed. The dudes aren't as near as basic on the guitars as everyone makes them. And their riffs have always actually sounded like something theirs ya know. They got a lot going for them as far as im concerned.
Plus you're looking on the wrong place if you want wankery. Attila is all about plain fun and solid jams with catchy breakdowns and hell, even lyrics (although as shitty as they come). |
TrantaLocked
04.10.14 | Their riffs are actually pretty good. No idea how you can listen to About That Life and rate under 2 when those fucking riffs shred so hard. And the screaming can be hilarious in a good way.

04.10.14 | "Attila isn't even far from techy though. Yeah they go bottom string a lot but the riffs are way better than what I usually hear from new age metalcore bands. I guess you mean Animals As Leaders techy?"
Yes absolutely, the more technical/prog stuff. And i agree, these guys aren't any worse than any modern metalcore band nowadays. At all, they actually make full use of their strings the whole time, unlike many "brocore" acts that go around, and yet are associated with them hard for well, the reasons i stated before, i believe. People put Attila in the same bag as all the "shitty" bands which is an uninformed mistake. |

Although Emmure sucks even more, Attila is a completely unoriginal band that offers absolutely nothing new (Like almost every single "faux" deathcore bands), their lyrics are completely cringe-worthy, they're songs are mostly breakdown after breakdown with some good instrumental ideas sprinkled here and there, other than that, they suck big time. |

07.01.14 | So i spent the last 2 days listening to Attila's last 3 albums (the ones that only seems worth looking into) and I can say that their latest is their best only because the great production keeps them alive. 'Outlawed' is absolutely generic and awful. Rage has some decent parts here and there but mostly boring and generic. About That Life actually has really nice instrumentals but the lyrics are like so bad that it makes the album bad. and that is literally it, discussion closed. |
