Composition
New Release Tuesday comments "Attack is built of ferocious guitar riffs, swelling melodies, searing vocals and a provoking and compelling declaration of the gospel that instantly sweeps the listener into spiritual awareness" with "abrasive hard rock grit to soothing melodic ballads". Indie Vision Music explains "Bringing anthemic battle-driven tracks that inspire while also positively uplifting the listener out of the mire of this world and offering them hope, this is an album that deserves to be internalized into your very soul." Jesus Freak Hideout contends "While all too many rock outfits are trading their chugging riffs for more modest melodies and radio-friendly cuts, it's exciting to hear a band like Disciple continuing on and just being themselves, all the while carrying the flag into battle in the name of Christ." Christian Music Review suggests "Disciple shares their bold passion for Christ with fast drumming, heavy guitars, strong bass, and intense screaming on their newest album, Attack. They offer plenty of hard-core musical interludes that will get your head banging." 365 Days of Inspiring Media discerns "Attacks rockers are great, but the lyrics are what sets the album apart."
Critical reception
Signaling in a four star review by HM Magazine, Nate Lake recognizes, "From music to lyrics to album structure, Disciple's Attack backs up its already solid reputation with a quality set of powerful tracks that pushes the band's listeners to attack life in their own faith journeys." Matt Conner, indicating in a three star review from CCM Magazine, realizes, "unfortunately the new chemistry is a bit lacking. Attack is a straightforward rock release with hand's up anthems... and heartfelt anthems. Sound familiar? It should."
