The group's debut album MUSCLE was released 2 years ago on 27th Nov .
Just like MUSCLE , ATTACK does not have any singles . Its lead album promo track is Cry Boy in which the band has been playing it at their live shows for a while back & it has gained popularity among their fans .
The following are songs that MUSCLE ATTACK performed live before in past concerts but are not included in ATTACK :
- WHO I AM
- CYCLE
- LIFE GOES ON ~Acoustic ver.~ {live version is included in the DVD footages of ATTACK}
The 1st 3 songs in ATTACK were written & composed by vocalist/guitarist SHINPEI . On 1st listen , BREAKDOWN sounded like an instrumental piece with random mumbling in the background but in actual fact there's lyrics accompanying the song .
On the other hand , BURNISH HEART & FLY !! are both back to back rock driven no.s .
Track #4 TWILIGHT was written & composed by bassist Jong . I think Jong is the 1 that sings in here because his singing voice is different from SHINPEI .
While the next song CELEBRATION was written & composed by guitarist Shunp . It's 1 of the slower sounding no.s in ATTACK & just like TWILIGHT , I have a feeling Shunp is the 1 singing in CELEBRATION .
THIS IS DIE(T) was written & composed by drummer HIDEHIRO . The shortest track in the album , it's also somewhat the most random sounding no. in ATTACK as well .
Cry Boy serves as the lead promo track in ATTACK & as expected , it's the most prominent sounding no. . A live video was made to accompany the song in which it deserves to have 1 .
The 2nd last song , REACH YOU is a slow down mid tempo no. just like CELEBRATION & in here , I think SHINPEI is the 1 singing it .
BRAND NEW DOOR is the final track in the album . Lyrics wise , it was written by SHINPEI while the melody was composed by Jong .
I had rather strange deja vu vibes when I heard BRAND NEW DOOR as it sounded very similar to MUSCLE's BYGONES . Let alone the fact that both tracks are incidentally the last song in each album but BRAND NEW DOOR itself is quite a good closing to ATTACK .
BREAKERZ's guitarist's SHINPEI's own band MUSCLE ATTACK (as part of BREAKERZ's own solo projects) released their 2nd music release ATTACK last month & for this album , I feel it showcased a certain amount of growth .
Let alone , ATTACK sees more personal input coming from each of the members unlike in MUSCLE where SHINPEI was the 1 that mainly did most of the writing and/or composing .
ATTACK probably could have been benefitted from including the songs that the band performed in their past live shows but are missing in the tracklist as I'm sure it will be a benefit for those whom weren't able to see them live in performance .
But on whole , ATTACK is quite a good step up or 2 from MUSCLE . And for that it's worth commending .
