Attack Attack! (released as Attack Attack! (US) in the UK) is the second studio album by American metalcore band Attack Attack! It was released on June 8, 2010 through Rise Records. It was produced by Joey Sturgis. The album was initially titled "Shazam!", but due to copyright issues, it was self-titled.

It is the first album to feature Caleb Shomo on lead vocals, replacing former lead vocalist Nick Barham who had replaced original lead vocalist Austin Carlile but had not recorded an album with the band. It is also the final album to include former clean vocalist and rhythm guitarist Johnny Franck.

It peaked at number 26 on the Billboard 200, as well as topping the Independent Albums chart and peaking within the Alternative, Rock, and Digital Album charts. It received mixed reviews from music critics, with praise generated around the album's heavier tracks and negativity directed toward the electronicore and electropop songs. Its first single, "Smokahontas", was released on January 11, 2011.

A deluxe reissue of the album was released on July 19, 2011, through Rise Records, which included four new tracks, two remixes, and two acoustic tracks. It was announced when the band premiered the bonus track and lead single, "Last Breath" on June 7, which was released for digital download on June 23, 2011.

On November 25, 2009, lead guitarist Andrew Whiting announced information about an upcoming album. The band began performing four confirmed tracks during their tour: "Sexual Man Chocolate", "Renob, Nevada", "A for Andrew", and "AC-130". The album was initially titled Shazam, but due to copyright issues, it was self-titled.
