The album was originally going to be titledAttaq and written in aMiddle Eastern font , but was changed by Konietzko after theSeptember 11 attacks , who explained that the band's historywith the Columbine shootings would have made the original title "pretty fucking harsh".[ 3]
Attak received mixed reviews. Bradley Torreano ofAllMusic describes the album's production as "ugly" and that it has a "few songs that are way too long" but still claims it has a "few truly inspiring industrial metal anthems".[ 2] The Michigan Daily is more positive of the album, stating its "filled with subtle beat changes and progressive riffs every track on Attak is superior to the metal shit that’s being served up to the mainstream by the spoonful and reflects the true talent of these Deutschland musical heroes".[ 6]
