About That Life is the fourth full-length studio album by American metalcore band Attila. The album was originally released on June 25, 2013, through Artery Recordings. It is the band's third release on the label.
The album is the second by the band to be produced by Joey Sturgis, who has previously worked with such bands as The Devil Wears Prada, Emmure, We Came as Romans and Asking Alexandria.
The album has been met with mostly indifferent reviews. Critics panned the CD on a number of fronts, from the musicianship, production, and lyrical content, however it has been highly praised by fans.
MetalSucks says "Totally obsessed with superficial bullshit, Chris 'Fronz' Fronzak seemingly can't help but leave a trail of douche slime everywhere he goes."
AllMusic states that "About That Life, from Southern-fried party-metalcore outfit Attila, sounds a little like Hinder, G.B.H., and Disturbed gave birth to a stillborn child and then had Fred Durst reanimate it."
Metal Injection says that one of the songs off of the album is "the worst thing I've ever heard. Clearly, the guy who wrote these lyrics must have attention deficit disorder."
Decibel writes that "Attila are one of those party douchebag bands who add dance beats, homophobia, misogyny, and rapping skills whiter than newly fallen snow to down-tuned junk metal, and guys to perform inane, generic, sterile chugcore just so the singer can get his rocks off on weird fantasies where he's a badass bitch-fucker."
Alternative Press says "Some bands are so breathtakingly stupid they tumble forward into a kind of genius."
The Westboro Baptist Church has scheduled a protest against the band in response to the song "Callout," whose lyrics include "Hey, Westboro Baptist, fuck you too. Come and protest this dick, faggots." The WBC Fliers Twitter account tweeted "Due to special invitation from @FRONZ1LLA, Westboro Baptist Church to picket deathcore band @ATTILAga in Bonner Springs, KS @CWAKC on 7/23."
